The aim of this study is to use treated sawdust as an adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye. The adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of methylene blue dye on this adsorbent were then examined at 25 o C. The adsorption isotherm of the methylene blue on the treated adsorbent was determined and correlated with common iso7 therm equations. The sorption data were then correlated with the Langmuir and the Freundlich adsorption isotherm models. The Langmuir isotherm exhibited a better fit for the adsorption data than the Freundlich isotherm with maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 236.16 mg g –1 . The kinetics of methylene blue adsorption on the treated adsorbent has also been studied by fitting the data in the Lagergren’s first order, the Ho7McKay’s pseudo second or7 der, the Elovich and the Intraparticulate kinetic models. It was observed that the removal of methylene blue over the treated adsorbent undergoes the second order processes at all the concentrations of the dye. The kinetic parameters of this best7fit model were calculated and discussed.
