Azo dyes have received considerable attention because of their association with various human health problems. The aim of the
investigation is to determine the adsorption behavior of azo dyes in aqueous solution on DG06, GSE17200, and GSE17201 soils using C.
I. Acid Red 14 (AR14) as example. The experimental results indicate that the Freundlich model expresses the adsorption isotherm better
than the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order model achieves adsorption of AR14 on the three soils well. Based on the pseudosecond-
order model, the adsorption thermodynamic of AR14 on DG06 soil have been studied and the thermodynamics parameter of
G0 is determined and G0 value shows the adsorption process of AR14 on DG06 is mainly physical in nature. Furthermore, the e ects
of temperature, pH and salinity (NaCl) on adsorption have been investigated. The decrease in pH or the increase in salinity enhances
the adsorption of AR14 by DG06, GSE17200, and GSE17201.
