Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of sugarcane bagasse adsorption capacity for
textile effluent. The adsorption process was investigated in a batch mode of operation under the
optimize condition of amount of adsorbent, initial concentration of dye, contact time, pH, and
temperature on textile effluent. The dried sugarcane bagasse sorbent was ground and sieved into
150pm size. Furtlier investigation of the sorption process was done using the FTIR, SEM analysis.
The experiment showed that the high removal percentage at PH 6, temperature 35° C with a retention
time of 100 minutes. The optimum dose amount of adsorbent was 0.3g/ ml. The results obtained in
this work indicated that the potential use of sugarcane bagasse as a biosorbent is feasible method for
the treatment of textile effluent.
