Lignocellullosic materials have been used as low-cost adsorbents for the removal of methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG) dyes from aqueous solutions. The organic compounds in the adsorbents that contribute to chemical oxygen demand (COD) have been removed through pretreatment of the adsorbents. The percentage of color removal and COD reduction of both MB and MG dyes were found relatively close in values. The adsorption process followed the Langmuir isotherm as well as the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetic model. The process was found to be endothermic in nature.
