Bu çalışmada papatyanın adsorplama özellikleri incelenmiştir. Crystal Violet (CV) boya adsorpsiyon proseslerinde adsorban olarak, işlenmemiş papatya (Ch) ve fosforik asit (H3PO4) (Ch-H3PO4) kullanılarak hazırlanan aktif karbon formu kullanılmıştır. Adsorbanların yüzey yapılarını gözlemlemek için Taramalı Elektron Mikroskobu (SEM) analizleri kullanılmıştır. Adsorpsiyon etkinlikleri pH (1-7), zaman (0-300 dk), başlangıç boya konsantrasyonu (10-50 ppm), adsorban miktarı (0,5-2 g/L) ve sıcaklığa (25-45 °C) bağlı olarak her bir adsorban için incelenmiş ve birbiriyle karşılaştırılmıştır. Adsorpsiyon proseslerinin 300 dk’ da dengeye ulaştığı belirlenmiştir. Her iki proseste de en yüksek giderimler pH 7' de elde edilmiştir. Tüm değişen konsantrasyonlarda, her iki adsorban da yüksek giderim yüzdelerine ulaşmıştır. Ayrıca değişen adsorban dozajının, her iki adsorbanın kapasite değerlerini büyük ölçüde etkilediği gözlenmiştir. Kinetik çalışmalarda proseslerin yalancı ikinci dereceden kinetik model ile açıklandığı ve izoterm çalışmalarının Freundlich izotermi ile uyumlu olduğu görülmüştür. Termodinamik çalışmalarında ΔH0 değerleri Ch ve Ch-H3PO4 için sırasıyla 20,69 ve -34,87 kJ mol-1 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Negatif ve pozitif ΔH0 değerleri sırasıyla ekzotermik ve endotermik doğayı gösterir. Ch ve Ch-H3PO4 için ΔS0 değerleri sırasıyla 76,52 ve -95,55 J mol-1K-1 olarak bulunmuştur. Negatif ΔG0 değerleri proseslerin kendiliğindenliğini açıklamaktadır. Sonuç olarak, işlenmemiş papatyanın CV boya gideriminde etkili olduğu, H3PO4 kullanılarak aktif karbon hazırlanması ile etkinliğinin arttığı belirlenmiştir.
