Textile industry produces effluent containing dyes which is dangerous to the whole ecosystem and environment. Their concentration must be reduced to acceptable levels before discharging into the main streams. In this research nano emulsion is used to study the removal of Acid Blue-25 (AB-25) dye from textile effluent using reverse micelles of Cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Reverse micelles are nanometer-sized aggregates of surfactant molecules surrounding microscopic water-core in non-polar solvents. As this dye is anionic in nature so cationic surfactant CTAB is used for the extraction of dye into solvent phase. The parameters examined in this study were effect of equilibration time, effect of pH, effect of temperature, effect of surfactant concentration and effect of initial dye concentration.
