This report consists of four important chapters that cover the introduction, problems statement, objectives of the projects, review of related literature, project methodology and the conclusions. The introduction part briefly discusses the background of the textile dyes. For the second part, the focus is more on the problem statement that covers problem identification and the significant of the projects. Part three is where the objectives of the project are stated and it describes more on the relevance and the feasibility of the project within the scope and time frame given. The review of related literature on textile dyes and coconut coir is enclosed in part four while the project methodology is covered in part five of the report. The project conclusion is also stated in the report together with the references used while doing research works on this project. The objective of this project is to investigate the effectiveness of coconut coir carbon in adsorptive removal of textile dyes from aqueous solution. It is found to be maximum removal of 82.55 and 73.3 % in 0.1 g coconut coir activated carbon for 5 hours contact time in 2 mg/L and 5 mg/L of CYC5G concentration respectively. From the adsorption study, maximum adsorption capacity of 4.028 and 9.278 mg/g of coconut coir activated carbon were observed at an adsorbent dose of 0.4 giL in 2 mg/L and 5 mg/L of CYC5G concentration respectively. From the column studies, it has shown that the adsorption is greater at the slow rate of flow and in thicker bed depth.
