In this work, chitosan/alginate composites were developed by the gelation method with the addition of different amounts of activated carbon produced from tannery waste (ACTW). The performance of these composites was verified through the adsorption of the textile dye Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR). A synergistic effect was observed by the addition of ACTW; with a specific surface area up to 45.584 m²/g, the maximum adsorption capacity was 300.96 mg/g. The synergy was due to the reduction in steric hindrance, with the adsorption capacity 1.2 times higher than expected. The material was regenerated with sodium hydroxide for 10 cycles. The composite containing 30% ACTW (AC30) was applied in the treatment of real textile effluent, with 30% reductions in the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), 39% in the chemical oxygen demand (COD), 78% in turbidity, and 67% in color.
