Abstract

In this study, the removal of crystal violet from aqueous solutions using natural clay (from Bafra of Turkey) was described. Experiments were carried out as function of contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial concentration, pH and temperature. The chemical composition of the natural clay was analyzed by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF).
