Abstract: Removal of dyes from waste water discharge of textile Industry is a major issue due to its harmful effect on human life and environment. Based on study of various methods available and considering the aspect of cost effective and efficient technology adsorption is considered to be best approach. In this present work the removal of “brilliant red†dye is carried out by the process of adsorption using raw water melon shell powder. Various batch experiments were performed under different experimental conditions. The effect of parameters such as Initial dye concentration, pH, contact time, adsorbent doses has been investigated.Various isotherm models such as Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin analyzed the isotherms of adsorption data
