Abstract: Methylene Blue adsorption from an aqueous solution on to Alangium salvifolium Tree Bark (ASTB) has been studied experimentally using the batch adsorption method. The operating variables studied are pH, initial dye concentration contact time. Adsorption isotherm (Langmuir and Freundlich) and kinetics model were studied. The adsorption capacity of ASTB was found to increasing with in temperature. Thermodynamics parameters such as DG, DH and DS for adsorption were evaluated. Adsorption of Methylene Blue on ASTB found to be endothermic process. The aim of present work is to study the effectiveness of the adsorbent to remove dyes from their aqueous solution and the removal of color from textile and various industrial waste water.
