This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of Beidellite and graphene adsorbents in removing Congo red dye from water to enhance water treatment processes. Due to Congo Red's environmental and health risks, its effective removal from water resources is essential. This research examined Beidellite and graphene adsorbents using instrumental analyses such as SEM, FTIR, EDAX, XRD, and zeta potential. The influence of adsorbent concentration, pH, temperature, and contact time on dye adsorption was also investigated. The results demonstrated that graphene achieved a removal efficiency of 87.66 % at a temperature of 50°C and pH=9, while Beidellite exhibited a removal efficiency of 80.78 % at a temperature of 20 °C and pH=6, showing optimal performance in removing Congo red from water. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm provided the best fit for the experimental data. Besides, thermodynamic parameter analysis revealed that the adsorption process for both graphene and Beidellite was spontaneous, with the reaction being exothermic for Beidellite and endothermic for graphene. The adsorption capacities for graphene and Beidellite were determined to be 5.47 mg/g and 6.73 mg/g, respectively. Desorption experiments indicated a high recovery rate, particularly at low dye concentrations. Therefore, further research on these compounds is recommended, given the high efficiency of Beidellite and graphene adsorbents in removing Congo red and their potential for reuse in water treatment processes.
