This study aimed to synthesis and characterized hydroxyapatite/ chitosan biocomposite for Remazol Blue Dyes Removal. Hydroxyapatite was extracted from egg shell and incooporated with commercial chitosan to improve its mechanical strength and adsorption capacity. The prepared adsorbent was characterized in term of morphology using scanning electron microscope and the presence of funtional group in this biocomposite were confirmed by ATR-FTIR. Performance of hydroxyapatite/ chitosan was evaluted by its efficiency for remazol blue dyes removal. The observed results show that the developed adsorbent achieved the highest adsorption capacity for about 95 % dyes removal. The findings in this study perhaps can be used as a fundamental knowledge for the development of dyes wastewater treatment mainly in textile industry.
