This work was the study of adsorption behaviours of three dye solution (methylene blue, malachite green & methyl violet) using commercial activated carbon prepared from copper pod flower. Removal of these three dyes from aqueous solution using commercial activated carbon has been investigated through batch experiment. The batch adsorption experiments were carried out by observing the effect of contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH and temperature. The results indicate that copper pod flower could be employed as a low cost alternative to commercial activated carbon for the removal of colour and dyes from aqueous solution.
