The effect of adsorbent additive on clay based adsorbent to the removal of a single dye system

One of the powerful treatment processes for the removal of dyes from water at low cost is adsorption. This research is studied to identify which one is the best additive used for removal of dyes solution from wastewater. This dyes containing wastewater discharge in stream and river and will cause th...
