Özet
The removal of Methylene blue as a synthetic dye from aquatic system was investigated
by using vermicompost. The dye concentration, contact time and pH of the solution carried out in the
adsorption studies. Batch adsorption experimental data were suitable for the Langmuir isotherm and a
very good fit to the second order kinetic model (pH=10). The maximum adsorption capacity calculated
256.66 mg g-1 . Vermicompost and the dye loaded vermicompost were characterized by SEM and FTIR.
It was found that the vermicompost is stable without losing their activity.
