Conclusion
1. It was alsow concluded that pH of the solution has a marked effected on the
adsorption and adsorption increased with the increase in pH value.

2. It was found that adsorbent dose and initial concentration of dye has a
significant effect on the adsorption of dye.

3. The present study shows that about 100mg of MB adsorbed per g of natural
clay in 20 minute at 25°C .
