In this research, activated carbon (AC) simply was prepared from a local, abundant tree in south of Iran. The AC with low cost and toxicity is a good candidate for bromophenol blue (BPB) removal from aqueous media. The AC with nano scale pore diameter is applicable for this dye removal following optimization of the influence of various parameters including contact time, pH, initial dye concentration and amount of adsorbent. Subsequently, experimental data was analyzed by four kinetic models including pseudo first and second-order, Elovich and the intraparticle diffusion equations and subsequently their respective parameters such as rate constants, equilibrium adsorption capacities and correlation coefficients was investigated and based on well known criterion their applicability was judged. The result shows that adsorption of BPB onto proposed adsorbent at all conditions such as versatile adsorbent dosages …
