This work aimed to study the adsorption of blue methylene dye using as adsorbent a kind of kaolinite called(named) pink kaolinite. The adsorbent was characterized from its chemical composition, by X-ray diffraction method and surface area by BET method. The variable parameters for the study in question were: the equilibrium time and the ratio of adsorbent mass per volume of adsorbate. It was found that the equilibrium time is less than 20 minutes and the highest adsorption occurred at 1:200 ratio, with a removal of 97%. The isotherm adsorption was constructed from the optimized kinetics adsorption parameters. The data were linearized for the models of Langmuir and Freundlich, and Langmuir model was that better explained the results.
