Abstract
The adsorption of four dyestuffs, namely, Basic Blue 69 (BB69), Basic Red 22 (BR22), Acid Red 114 (AR114) and Acid Blue 25 (AB25), onto bagasse pith has been studied. Bagasse pith is a cheap, abundant waste product from the sugar industry in Egypt and was found to have the following monolayer equilibrium saturation capacities: 158, 77, 23 and 22 mg dye g-1 pith. The effects of pith particle size range and dye solution temperature were studied. The equilibrium data were analysed using Langmuir, Freundlich and Jossens isotherms.
