Research Data for: Adsorption Study of Basic Yellow Dye Dataset Using Ethiopian Kaolin as an Adsorbent

Kaolin adsorbent expected to adsorb the textile dye molecule. Because clay materials have good surface area for adsorption. Also, clay materials have charged, both positive and negative, surface area. Specially kaolin has a dominant-negative surface charge. As a result, kaolin adsorbent will have a potential capacity to adsorb basic dyes. The operational parameters ( effect of dye concentration, pH, temperature, contact time and adsorbent dosage), as well as modeling ( adsorption isotherm, kinetics, and thermodynamics study) on to raw, calcined and beneficiated kaolin, were investigated. Basic Yellow Dye on to the beneficiated kaolin has recorded as highly removal efficiency at pH of 9, initial dye concentration of 20mg/L, time of 60 min, adsorbent dosage 1g/100mL and temperature of 30℃.
