Abstract: The kinetics of Basic Red 18 and Acid Blue 9 sorption onto activated clay have been
investigated. A batch sorption model, based on the assumption of a pseudo-second order
mechanism, has been developed to predict the rate constant of sorption, the equilibrium sorption
capacity, and initial sorption rate with the effect of initial dye concentration, activated clay
particle size, temperature, and pH value. In addition, an activation energy of sorption has also
been determined based on the pseudo-second order rate constants.
