<![CDATA[Experimental and theoretical investigations related to the adsorptive removal of Basic blue 9 (BB9) onto<b> </b>γ-Al<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> (gamma-Nano alumina) have been done in the present work. Batch tests were carried out varying some processing parameters namely initial dye concentration (5 - 50 mg/L), adsorbent dose (0.5 - 5 g/L), initial pH (1 - 12) and contact time (0 - 30 min). Under conditions of C<SUB>0</SUB> = 50 mg/L; pH = 11; dose = 1g/L and t = 15 min, more than 83.6% of the BB9 molecules were removed corresponding to an adsorption capacity of 41.8 mg/g. The pseudo-second order and the Langmuir models fit well the experimental data with highest R<SUP>2</SUP> values of 0.99 and 0.91 respectively and lowest values of χ<SUP>2</SUP>. This suggests adsorption process as limiting step on a homogeneous distribution of active sites on the adsorbent surface. The first step of adsorption mechanism involved electrostatic interactions between the negatively charged γ-Al<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> surface in basic medium and secondly electrophilic-nucleophilic interactions. Compared to other adsorbents, γ-nano Al<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> obtained in this work could be a good alternative for treatment water containing dye BB9.]]>
