Adsorption balance studies of some textile dye products on Mardin-Derik clay

As a result of industrial activities in the nature, but rapidly increasing the amount of water, soil, air environment, increasing the amount of textile paint due to toxic effects and damage to the environment is important. Textile paints which are the result of uncontrolled industrial wastes in natural wetlands can accumulate not only in water body but also in the structure of wetlands. With its wide surface area, the microporous structure, high adsorption capacity and surface reactivity make this adsorbent attractive in adsorption studies. Adsorption studies were performed with clay from Derik district of Mardin. In this study, the effect of dye concentrations and temperature on the adsorption mechanism was investigated. Thus, different adsorption behaviors between textile dye and Mardin - Derik clay were observed.
