Abstract: A study of the activation of the natural clay of Ouw (LAO) using acids and bases has been done. Activation with a base using KOH 2 M with heating treatment and without heating. Conducted a study of the adsorbent mass. The results showed that activation with KOH 2M along with heating decreased the adsorption ability of LAO to Rhodamin B dye. The optimal adsorbent mass was 5 grams. While activation of LAO with acid using HCl with concentration 2 M, 3M, and 4M. Conducted a study of the adsorbent mass. The results showed that activation using HCl 3 M resulted in optimal adsorption of Rhodamin B. The use of different adsorbent mass of acid activated ouw natural clay adsorbent has no significant effect on the adsorption presentage of Rhodamine B.
