The present study has focused with its investigation on finding potential application of some seaweed (macroalgae) for biosorption of common dyes using batch culture process. The standard dyes were selected based on absorption potential. The result confirmed that, Sargassum longifolium did maximum removal of dyes such as green color dye, malachite green color and methyl violet color. Ulva reticulata was found removing red color dye, methyl yellow and methyl orange whereas Gracilaria corticata also showed maximum absorption for blue color dye, congo red and methyl blue dyes. In the present study, it was found that brown algal biomass showed highest affinity for removal of dye due to its fast binding, high affinity. The findings also indicated that marine algae can be used effectively for removal of toxic dye from the environment like any other biological systems.
