This report investigates the capacity of crystal violet (CV) uptake from aqueous solutions by a sulfonated gel (Sulfo-Gel) made via free radical polymerization of acrylamide and sulfonic monomer (3-Allyloxy-2-hydroxy-1-propanesulfonic acid sodium salt). CV uptake was examined through a batch technique, assessing the effects of various conditions, including uptake time, solution pH, gel dose, initial concentration of dye, and temperature. Results showed that the hydrogel adsorbent removed 74.88% of the CV dye at a gel dose of 500 mg/L in a neutral medium at initial CV concentration of 30 mg/L and contact time 100 min. The adsorption kinetics were best depicted by nonlinear fitting of pseudo-first-order model. Additionally, adsorption isotherms were analyzed using nonlinear fitting of the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich models, with the data fitting the Temkin model most effectively. Thermodynamic studies signified the exothermic nature of the adsorption process and its spontaneity.
