The ability of HCl-water hyacinth stems (HCl-WHS) biomass powder to adsorb acid red 73 (AR73) dye, from aqueous solutions has been investigated through batch experiments. The dye removal was found to be dependent on adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, mixing speed, contact time and adsorbent particle size. All batch experiments were carried out at constant pH and temperarure of 3.0 and 25...
