Abstract: The dyes, present in the rejections of textile industry, represent a true danger to human being and its environment, because of their stability and their low biodegradability. Our work is focused on the use of releases of rock phosphates of Djebel-Onk (Algeria) for elimination of a basic dye, Bezacryl Yellow (BY). The study of the influence of some parameters on the capacity of adsorption of the dye by phosphate revealed that the favorable conditions for obtaining a maximum rate of discoloration are: Concentration of the phosphate suspension R=4g/L; pH of the dye solution=6; stirring velocity ɷ=300 trs/min; temperature of reactional medium T=25°C. The modeling of the experimental values by different kinetic models showed that the kinetics is governed by the second-order model. Starting from the values of the various parameters of the mathematical models calculated, the results obtained revealed a good correlation between the experimental data and the values predicted by the Langmuir model. The value of the calculated ΔH is lower than 50 kJ/mol and positive, suggesting that the adsorption process is endothermic and of physical nature.
