This study aims to determine the uptake capacity of langsat (Lansium domesticum) skin on the adsorption of dyes along with the contact time. Textile dyes are dyes which is harmful for the environment and living things. This textile industry waste can cause a decrease in water quality. When this carcinogenic dye enters the human body, it can lead to cancer. The process of these dyes adsorption use langsat skin samples. The components of langsat skin that can adsorb dyes are triterpenoids, saponins and flavonoids. This study uses a batch method by treating the contact time variations of several dyes. The results reveal that the biomass adsorption on rhodamine B, methyl orange, and methylene blue dyes were 11,578 mg/g, 3.8425 mg/g, 36,735 mg/g respectively and with optimum contact time of 60, 90 and 150 minutes, respectively.
