A surfactant mediated cloud point extraction (CPE) procedure has been developed to remove color from wastewater containing malachite green using Triton X-100 as non-ionic surfactant. The effects of the concentration of the surfactant, temperature and salt concentration on the different concentrations of dye have been studied and optimum conditions were obtained for the removal of malachite green. The concentration of malachite green in the dilute phase was measured using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. It was found that the separation of phases was complete and the recovery of malachite green was very effective in the presence of NaCl as an electrolyte. The results showed that up to 500 ppm of malachite green can quantitatively be removed (>95%) by CPE procedure in a single extraction using optimum conditions.
