AB  - A novel magnetic biocomposite was synthesized using metal chlorides and aquatic 
      macrophytes by co-precipitation method. The resulting product, magnetic 
      biocomposite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), 
      X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and Scanning 
      electron microscope (SEM). The adsorption performance of the magnetic 
      biocomposite was tested with removal of Metanil Yellow dye from aqueous solution. 
      The effect of influencing parameters such as initial dye concentration, solution 
      pH and agitation were investigated. The equilibrium isotherm was well described 
      by the Langmuir model with the with maximum adsorption capacity of 90.91mg/g. 
      Adsorption kinetics experiments were carried out and the data were well fitted by 
      a pseudo-second-order equation. The results revealed that the magnetic 
      biocomposite could efficiently adsorb the azo dyes from aqueous solution, and the 
      spent adsorbents could be recovered completely by magnetic separation process. 
      Therefore, the prepared magnetic biocomposite could thus be used as promising 
      adsorbent for the removal of azo dyes from polluted water.
