Abstract
In the present study, removal of safranin dye from water bodies was investigated using natural biosorbent (Thyme leaves (TEL)). The influence of multiple factors such as as contact time (15 – 105 mins), adsorbent dose (25 to 350) mg/l , adsorbate dose (5 to 40)mg\L, and temperature (25 to 55)o C were taken for investigation. The adsorption isotherms were described by utilized Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubnin-Radushkevich models, Freundlich isotherm model found to be best suited with experimental data out of 3 isotherm The adsorption process followed pseudo second order model.
