Textile companies release wastewater containing lots of colors including MethyleneBlue (MB) dye. Those colors are harrmful for human well being. Various procedures havebeen utilized to expel the color from industrial wastewater. Out of different methods used inpractice, adsorption was observed to be exceptionally successful and effective. The reasonbehind the especiality is when nanocomposites are utilized as an adsorbent, as it has a betteradsorption limit, selectivity, and solidness than nanoparticles. In this research, a peculiarsynthesis of adsorbent Graphene Oxide Silica [GO-Si] is carried out and it is used to removemethylene blue dye from texile industry wastewater. Analysing the performance of MB dyeremoval from the waste water using this adsorbent seems to be more effective. Various studieshave been carried out for successful analysis of the performance such as adsorption isothermstudy, Freundlich and Langmuir analysis. In addition the adsorption process was well explainedby a pseudo-second-order kinetics models.
