Evaluating the potential of a Nigerian soil as an adsorbent for tartrazine dye: Isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic studies

The release of toxic tartrazine dye from industrial effluent into the environment is of public health concern. This study therefore aimed at the removal of tartrazine from solution using Nigerian soil as a low cost potential sorbent. The sorbent was characterized by the Fourier transform infrared sp...
