Abstract
The present investigation deals with the utilization of Blue
Green Algae (BGA) as adsorbent for the removal of Acid Violet from
aqueous solution. A series of experiments were conducted in a batch
system to evaluate the effect of system variables. Adsorption kinetic
data were, tested using Intra-particle diffusion model and Elovich’s
equation. Studies revealed that the Intraparticle diffusion played an
important role in the mechanism o f dye adsorption.
