TiO2 particle doped cross-linked Poly vinyl alcohol- Carboxy methyl cellulose (PVA-CMC membrane was fabricated by solution casting method. These membranes are explored for the purpose of effective removal of methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG) dyes from aqueous solutions. Adsorption capacity was measured by UV-Visible spectrophotometer. Optimisation studies were done at different time, pH, initial concentration and temperature. The membranes were characterized by XRD, FTIR, UV and SEM. Kinetic and thermodynamic studies reveals that pseudo second order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm models were best explained by the mechanism of adsorption of MB and MG dyes onto PVA-CMC-TiO2 membrane. The regeneration of membranes were effectively done.
