The present study deals with the decolorization of C.I. Acid Red 88 (AR88) as a model contaminant from textile industry using sawdust as an adsorbent. The effects of initial AR88 concentration, adsorbent dosage, pH, contact time and stirring rate were studied in a batch mode. The variation of pH from 3 to 10 showed no considerable change in decolorization rate. The desired conditions for decolorization of 84.46\% were obtained to be 20 min of contact time, stirring rate of 400 rpm with 30 g L-1 of adsorbent. Freun...
