The presence of dye molecules in water resources has harmful effects on environment. Therefore, it is important to remove dyes from wastewater using eco-friendly materials. In this study, adsorptive removal of diazo dye Direct Red 28 (DR-28) and tetra azo dye Direct Black 22 (DB-22) was investigated by using a new composite, kaolin supported zinc ferrite (KZF) as adsorbent. Characteristics of the composite, KZF were determined using various techniques such as FTIR, SEM, XRD, VSM, and EDS/Mapping. The adsorption of DR-28 and DB-22 on KZF was studied as a function of contact time, initial dye concentration, adsorbent amount, temperature, initial pH of the solution as well as the heat treatment of the composite. The removal of DR-28 was found to be 92.4% for the KZF concentration of 1g/200mL, initial dye concentration of 20 mg/L, contact time of 120 min at original pH and 21 °C. On the other hand the removal of DB22 was found to be 91.7% under the same conditions at 40 °C. The results showed that Langmuir isotherm is suitable for the adsorption of DR-28 and DB-22 on KZF under given conditions. It was found that adsorption of DR-28 on KZF was exothermic while that of DB-22 was endothermic. The enthalpy changes (ΔH0) for the adsorption of DR-28 and DB-22 dyes on KZF were found to be –24.59 kJ/mol and 61.95 kJ/mol respectively. ΔS0 for the adsorption of DR-28 dye was found to be negative while ΔS0 for the adsorption of DB-22 was positive. The kinetic data fitted well to the pseudo second order model for the adsorption of DR-28 and DB-22 on KZF composite. These results showed that the prepared adsorbent KZF could be used as an adsorbent for the efficient removal of anionic dyes.
