Methyl orange is one dye resulted from the textile industry. The aim of this study is to test theadsorption capacity of nickel oxide nanoparticles for removing the methyl orange from aqueoussolution. The parameters studied were the effect of temperature, contact time and initial pH ofsolution. Results indicate that the removal efficiency of nickel oxide nanoparticles increases withincreasing concentration of methyl orange and temperature. Adsorption isotherms were investigatedto complete understanding the adsorption processes. The adsorption behavior was analyzed byLangmuir, Freundlich and Tempkin isotherms. The values of correlation coefficients (R2) showedthat the Langmuir isotherm model has a better fitting than Freundlich and Tempkin isotherms.Sorption kinetic data were fitted to the pseudo second-order model.
