The study evaluates the effectiveness of activated carbon derived from coffee grounds (ACcg) in removing Reactive Yellow 161, a pollutant from the textile industry. The properties of ACcg are analyzed by various techniques such as FTIR, SEM, EDS and X-ray diffraction. In addition, physico-chemical analyses, such as moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, iodine value and zero charge point (pHpzc), were carried out on the prepared ACcg. The Box-Behnken Design (BBD) scheme combined with the Response Surface Method (RSM) is used to optimize adsorption variables. Results show high microporosity of ACcg, adsorption kinetics fitted to pseudo-first order and Langmuir isotherm consistent with experimental data. Thermodynamic parameters indicate spontaneous and exothermic adsorption behavior. Residue analysis and ANOVA confirm a high adsorption capacity of ACcg (97.67 %) at an initial concentration of 20 ppm Reactive Yellow, with an ACcg mass of 1 g/L and a pH of 3. The chosen model is validated for this application.
