Zinc aluminum hydroxide (ZAH) as a porous adsorbent was synthesized using microwave assisted combustion method and its dye removal ability from single and binary systems was studied. The ZAH characteristics were investigated using XRD, FTIR, and SEM. Acid Blue 92(AB92), Acid Red 14 (AR14), and Direct Red 23 (DR23) were used. The effect of ZAH dosage and initial dye concentration on dye removal was investigated. Adsorption isotherm and kinetic was evaluated. The capacity of ZAH to remove AB92, AR14, and DR23 was 95mg/g, 84mg/g and 75mg/g, respectively. Dye removal fitted with the Langmuir model and pseudo-second order kinetics.
