Abstract: The present research was targeted to remove the one of the most popular textile dyes which utilized as colorant dye in the textile industries from the effluent of these industries. The chicken feather was used as adsorbent after treated by thermal and acid method. Generally the operation conditions were: concentration of dye (20 ppm), (pH = 6), contact time (120 min) and adsorbent dosage (2 g/L). The results show that the activated chicken feather was scssusefly adsorbent, comparing with the non-activated samples. In addition to the thermal activation was more active than the acidic activation, at same time the removal percentage was increased with increase activation temperature the maximum removal dye percentage was 93%.
