The adsorption behaviour of some styryl pyridinium dyes on alkali trea
ted silica (alkali-silica) has been investigated, The surface area of
alkali-silica is found to be more than the untreated silica. The adsor
ption isotherm and adsorption kinetics have been discussed in the ligh
t of molecular behaviour of the adsorbate. A cooperative adsorption of
the dye on the alkali-silica surface has been observed. Hemimicelliza
tion has been proposed during the adsorption of the dyes.
