The present research work is based on to prepare adsorbents from a low value temple floral waste (Aegle marmelos leaves and Chrysanthemum morifolium flowers).The adsorbents were prepared by chemical activation using ortho phosphoric acid. The physiochemical parameters for both adsorbents leaves and flowers were pH (7.5, 7), moisture content (33%, 11%), ash content (24%, 58%), volatile matter (6.7%, 19%), fixed carbon (36.3%, 12%). Surface area calculated by iodine number and found to be (2.855, 5.139) and the surface chemical nature was determined by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Functional groups OH (Alcohal, carboxylic acid), CH(Alkane, Aldyhide), O=C=O(carbon dioxide), C=C(Alkene, Conjugated alkene), were present at surface of both the adsorbents. The objective of this work is to utilized the temple floral waste and this work indicated that both adsorbents could be employed as low cost adsorbents in removal of dyes from water bodies.
