In the present study, Triton X-100 and Sorbitol surfactants were utilized to remove and extract cationic brill red X-56-N and disperse red-60 dyes, respectively. The parameters influencing the extraction, like pH, dye concentration and surfactant, were optimized. The best condition for the extraction of cationic brill red X-56-N was in neutral pH and use of 12.5(wt %) surfactant and [dye] = 100mg/L; moreover, the best condition for disperse red-60 extraction was in acidic pH, surfactant=2.0(wt %) and [dye] = 150mg/L.
