In this research study, the amino-functionalized Zeolitic Imidazole Framework-8 was synthesized and characterized using Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller. The suitability of amino-functionalized Zeolitic Imidazole Framework-8 for dye removal was determined via a batch adsorption study, and the effects of several adsorption factors were investigated, including the initial concentration of methyl blue (40–200 ppm) the effect of pH condition (pH 3–11), and reaction time (30–180 min). Several kinetic isotherm models, including Langmuir, Freundlich, Pseudo First Order, and Pseudo Second Order, were applied to ascertain the adsorption mechanism. From the results obtained, the adsorption capacity of amino-functionalized Zeolitic Imidazole Framework-8 recorded is 537.4 mg/g. The adsorption isotherm is well-suited to the Freundlich model (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9453) and the kinetic of adsorption is most fitted with Pseudo-second order (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9999). Thus, these results suggest that amino-functionalized Zeolitic Imidazole Framework-8 is a highly efficient adsorbent for methyl blue, operating predominantly through multilayer adsorption and chemisorption.
