Abstract

The adsorption of two basic dyes in aqueous solutions onto lignite is reported. The adsorption equilibrium isotherms are recorded for the dyes in single component solution. The isotherms are plotted to obtain the Freundlich constants, the Langmuir constants, and the Redlich‐Peterson constants.
