The present study demonstrates the synthesis of eco-friendly metal oxide-clay composites (MgO-clay and CaO-clay) with phytochemical functionalization. The physical and chemical properties of prepared composites were characterized using standard techniques viz. scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The effect of pH on the dye adsorption capability of the synthesized composites was studied. The adsorption of an anionic dye methyl orange (MO) and a cationic due methylene blue (MB) was favored in the acidic and basic regions, respectively. The Taguchi design approach was adopted for the removal of MO and MB from wastewater using the synthesized composites. The obtained results suggest that initial dye concentration and composite dosage were the most influential parameters in dye removal among all the studied parameters. The adsorption experiments were carried out using MgO-clay and CaO-clay composites with the optimum conditions obtained from Taguchi optimization to validate the predicted response. The experimental parameters viz. the effect of contact time, initial dye concentration, and solution temperature were studied for screened composite (CaO-clay) with optimized conditions. The obtained results were interpreted using standard isotherms and kinetic models. A maximum adsorption capacity of 571 ± 10 and 859 ± 14 mg g-1 was obtained from the Langmuir adsorption isotherm for MO and MB, respectively. Regeneration studies suggested that the CaO-clay composite can be utilized up to 3 cycles with reduced adsorption capacity of the dyes over cycles due to the solid binding nature of dyes on the CaO-clay composite. The fresh and utilized CaO-clay composite were tested for their environmental toxicity analysis using ecologically important soil microorganisms. The obtained results suggested no detrimental effects on soil microbe's functionality, indicating their threat-free disposal in the soil environment.
