        abstract = {As a sequel to the removal of waste using wastes-based technologies, we present here our results of the study utilizing neem leaf, an agricultural waste, as an interesting carbon precursor for Crystal Violet (CV) dye removal. Waste neem leaf is activated to form an activated carbon and it is tested for its efficiency by the adsorption studies. Dye solution of CV was prepared and tested for its removal efficiency with this activated carbon. The Batch mode of experiments has been carried out for adsorption studies of the Azadirachta indica (Neem) Leaf Carbon (NLC). Effect of parameter like pH, adsorbent dose, contact time, temperature and initial metal ion concentration were also determined. The optimum conditions obtained were 60 min contact time, 1.0g adsorbent dose, 40 0C, 100mg/L CV and pH 12 for CV removal. The results revealed that CV dye is considerably adsorbed on neem leaf derived carbon and it could be economic method for the removal of CV from aqueous solutions.  Moreover, this study gives a value-added utilization of biomass to remove CV from waste water. The results revealed that NLC adsorbent is potentially low-cost adsorbent for the removal of dye.},
