Dyes are a complex organic compound which is used by various industries to color their products. These dyes enter the water which makes them polluted. Today, color removal from wastewater has been a matter of concern, both in the aesthetic sense and health point of view. Color removed from textile effluents on a continuous industrial scale has been given much attention in the last few years, not only because of its potential toxicity but also mainly due to its visibility problem. Ixora coccinea leaves have been used for the removal of Reactive Yellow-14 dye. The adsorption studies are undertaken in a systematic manner and effect of different parameters such as adsorbent dosage, agitation time, and pH of the aqueous solution on the removal of the dye is determined. pH results to be an interesting variable and dye removal decreases as pH increases. The adsorption-equilibrium was represented with Freundlich, Langmuir and Temkin isotherms. The adsorption process followed the first order kinetics. The results indicated that the dye, Reactive Yellow-14 strongly interacts with a Biomass-based adsorbent; the Ixora Coccinea leaf powder.
