The color found in wastewater creates many environmental problems. Color removal from synthetic
dyes is a major concern today, as many dyes and their degradation products are toxic and carcinogenic,
posing a serious hazard to aquatic organisms. Crystal violet is most widely used for dyeing, biological
stains, dermatological agents, veterinary medicine, etc. [1]. The 1 ppb crystal violet dye is said to be
toxic and possibly mutagenic to humans and animals. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out
appropriate treatments to remove these pollutants from wastewater before they are discharged into the
environment [2]. Separation has become very important in environmental engineering and is now
recognized worldwide for its versatility. The adsorption method is seen as a simple and effective process
widely applied in potable and domestic or industrial wastewater treatment processes. For this reason,
many natural materials or industrial by-products can be used directly or after minor pretreatment to
remove the CV dye from the simulated solution [3].
In this study, the characterization of diatomite samples, washed with acid and then modified with FeCl2
[4–6], was performed by XRF, XRD, SEM. In addition, the adsorption performances of produced
adsorbents against cationic dyes (MB, MG, and CV) were tested. Furthermore, the effects of CV dye
adsorbed on the samples better than the aqueous solution, solution pH at constant temperature (298 K),
contact time, and initial dye concentration were investigated, followed by interpretation of the
adsorption data from the modeling result
