description Abstract Dye pollution has always been a serious concern globally, threatening the lives of humans and the ecosystem. In the current study, treated lignocellulosic biomass waste supported with FeCl3/Zn(NO3)2 was utilized as an effective composite for removing Reactive Orange 16 (RO16). SEM/EDAX, FTIR, and XRD analyses exhibited that the prepared material was successfully synthesized. The removal efficiency of 99.1% was found at an equilibrium time of 110 min and dye concentration of 5 mg L−1 Adsorbent mass of 30 mg resulted in the maximum dye elimination, and the efficiency of the process decreased by increasing the temperature from 25 to 40 °C. The effect of pH revealed that optimum pH was occurred at acidic media, having the maximum dye removal of greater than 90%. The kinetic and isotherm models revealed that RO16 elimination followed pseudo-second-order (R2 = 0.9982) and Freundlich (R2 = 0.9758) assumptions. Surprisingly, the performance of modified sawdust was 15.5 times better than the raw sawdust for the dye removal. In conclusion, lignocellulosic sawdust-Fe/Zn composite is promising for dye removal.
