Abstract-Due to increase in demand of textile products, there is much increase in use of synthetic dyes used for the textile products. So it results into tones of waste dye bath water discharge into water bodies causing problems for aquatic & human life. Similarly, there is also increase in use of PET bottles in day to day life and these used PET bottles are not being recycled in required numbers, resulting into PET bottles ending into landfills for years. In this research, we were able to absorb synthetic dye from dye solution successfully with the help of nano-particles sandwiched between R-PET aerogel. Here R-PET aerogel was made from used PET bottles converting waste for its best use. The R-PET aerogel and nano-particles were synthesized in laboratory. Furthermore, this adsorption process with the help of R-PET aerogel used as substrate and nano particles sandwiched between R-PET aerogel showed satisfactory result in adsorption of synthetic dye from dye solution. It is highly hoped that this study would further help to understand adsorption of synthetic dyes via R-PET aerogel substrate and nano particles.
