ABSTRACT: In the following study, we have tested Straw as a biomaterial for removing methylene blue (MB) by adsorption. The characterization of the adsorbent was carried out by scanning electron microscopy coupled with EDX (SEM), infra-red spectroscopy with Fourier transform and the point of zero charge (PZC). The studied variables are: the mass of adsorbent, the initial concentration of dye, the contact time, pH and temperature. Kinetic data were modeled by equations pseudo first order and pseudo-second order, and revealed that the adsorption of MB on the straw pseudo second order for initial dye concentration. The MB adsorption isotherms on straw were analyzed by models of Langmuir and Freundlich. The modeling of adsorption isotherms obtained good agreement with the model of Freundlich.
