This paper is related to study the using sea lettuce (Ulva lactuca) as a low-cost adsorbent for removing the phenol compounds from aqueous solutions by adsorption under different operating conditions in a batch unit. The SEM and FTIR tests were performed to determine the morphological characteristics and the functional groups existing on the adsorbent material, respectively, while the surface area was identified by means of two techniques which were blue color method and BET method. The results of the adsorption experiments showed that the efficiency of the removal process is inversely proportional with initial concentration of phenol, pH and temperature; while the efficiency was directly proportional to adsorbent amount, agitation speed and treatment time. The results showed that the percentage of removal of phenol from processed water solutions ranged from 25.446% to 90.125%. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were chosen to estimate the amounts of phenol adsorption by the sea lettuce powder. The kinetic study shows that the adsorption was obeyed pseudo second order also the thermodynamic parameters were calculated.
