Adsorption of dyes from the effluent is a well-knownand feasible method been used in the industry. In the presentwork we are using corn husk agricultural waste as asustainable raw material for synthesizing activated carbonusing biopolymer carboxyl methyl cellulose for formation ofbeads. The beads formed are been used for removal ofreactive ultra-orange RGB , acid telon yellow FG 01, basiccoracryl red C2B. The surface area of beads is 39.87m2/g. Themaximum adsorption of reactive orange RGB , acid telonyellow and basic coracryl red is 68.25mg/g, 72.54mg/g and30.21mg/g for 50ml of dye solution. The stock solution 0.4g/lof dye solution was prepared for each dye respectively. Thebeads formed shows a variable pH from 2 to 12 which isfavourable for textile effluent. This is a green approach to usethe agricultural waste for waste water treatment.
