Abstract

We did this study to use two different types of geopolymers based on metakaolin or metakaolin combined with slag to decolorize the colour from the dyeing bath leftovers from the liquid waste of reactive red dye 195 in an effort to reduce pollution and protect the environment. The findings demonstrated that this technique offered colour reduction as a low-cost and affordable option
