The batch type experiments were conducted with 10 ml of solution, at pH = pHZPC = 6.7 and contact time 1 h. The initial concentration of malachite green dye was 10 mg/l, the bauxite quantity was 0.02 g, 0.04 g, 0.06 g, 0.1 g and 0.2 g. The highest adsorption capacity achieved was 4.5 mg/g (90% removal) using 0.02 g bauxite. The removal capacity of raw bauxite is comparable to other non-conventional adsorbents, such as neem sawdust, sugar cane dust and cane root carbon.}, number={2}, journal={Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece}, author={Georgiadis, I.K. and Papadopoulos, A. and Filippidis, A. and Godelitsas, A. and Tsirambides, A. and Vogiatzis, D.}, year={2013}, month={Jan.}, pages={927–933} }
