Pineapple leaf-activated carbon-magnetite (PLACM) was used as a sorbent for the removal of rhodamine 6G (R6G) dye from the aqueous phase. In this study, PLACM was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) techniques. FTIR spectra showed the presence of a Fe-O bond at 592 cm-1 in the PLACM, while FESEM analysis showed a rough, porous surface with some pores deposited by Fe3O4 particles. BET surface area for PLACM was 439.53 m2/g. The removal efficiency of R6G dye was determined by UV-vis spectrophotometry and optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). Box-Behnken design (BBD) was employed to maximize R6G dye removal based on 17 experimental data. The parameters studied were the pH of the sample solution (pH 5-11), initial dye concentration (5-15 ppm) and sorbent dosage (6-14 mg). High correlation coefficients (R2=0.9852) and low standard deviation (SD=1.47) confirmed the consistency of predicted values with respective experimental values and the adequacy of the quadratic model. The optimum conditions to remove R6G dye were pH 7.19, initial dye concentration of 10 ppm and 10 mg of PLACM. Good linearity was achieved with R2=0.9853, while the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.124 ppm and 0.376 ppm, respectively. Maximum removal of R6G dye in aqueous solution during optimization was 88.40%. As for real sample analysis, the removal percentage for R6G dye was 10.70±8.09%. Low adsorption ability was affected by the nature of the sorbent surface involved in the adsorption process. Negative charged PLACM surface site was applicable to positive charge basic dyes. However, disperse dyes used in the Uwin Textile Industry possess a negative charge in the solution, resulting in low removal performances due to the electrostatic repulsion between the negatively charged disperse dye and the negatively charged PLACM surface.
