The paper reports the effect of PH on the adsorption of a dye (methylene blue) from aqueous solution by laboratory-made clay material prepared from magnesium sulphate and aluminium sulphate.The effect of pH on the adsorption of the dye on the clay material was found to be quite distinct; the change of adsorption is regular with increase of pH. The results have revealed that both physical and chemisorption are occurring here.
