Abstract
Activated clay has been successfully applied for the removal of red dye H3BD in the industrial textile wastewater. Activated clay has proved its effectiveness as 98% of the dyes contained within the effluent are eliminated and the COD is reduced from 10800 ppm to 32 ppm with a neutral pH and an excellent decantability. A complete study of textile dye adsorption on acidified clay was performed changing several factors such as stirring velocity, contact time and initial concentration.
