Review of Related Literature

Several research works has been performed to search for efficient and low-cost materials to remove methylene blue and other basic dyes from aqueous solution, including rice husk (Vadivelan and Kumar, 2005) beech sawdust (Batzias and Sidiras, 2004), agro-industry wastes (Garg et al., 2004) and activated carbon from date pits (Abdulkarim et al, 2002). However, as the adsorption capacities of the above adsorbents are not large, new absorbents are still under development.
