Abstract:
There is a growing concern about environmental issues regarding industrial wastes coming from various industries, textile being one of them. The coloured effluents from textiles like dyes have become a serious concern as the removal is difficult and necessary. Taking this issue into consideration the adsorption studies of Methylene blue have been performed using Ni/Fe Layered double hydroxide also called as anionic clay. The Ni/Fe hydrotalcites were prepared by the co-precipitation method and used for the adsorption studies of Methylene blue. The effects like contact time and initial concentration of dye were investigated in the paper.
