Abstract: Ferric chloride, Aluminium sulphate, and Ferrous sulphate flocs were used as an adsorbent in the decolourisation of aqueous dye C.I. Disperse yellow 3. To evaluate the potentiality of adsorbents, non-flow agitated experiments were carried out to find the equilibrium contact time, optimum equilibrium adsorbent dose. Preformed flocs at pH:: 4 rather than pH:: 10 produced excellent colour removal. Adsorption capacity of flocs of Ferric chloride, Aluminium sulphate and Ferrous sulphate was obtained as 500 mg/g, 333mg/g and 23.3mg/g at pH:4. The equilibrium data sorption follows Langmuir Isotherm and kinetic data follows pseudo second order stating that chemisorptions is the rate limiting step.
