Textile industries consume large volume of water and chemicals for wet processing of textiles. As a result, produce large volumes of colored (dye) water as waste. The effectiveness of adsorption for dye removal from wastewaters has made it an ideal alternative to other expensive treatment options. The present study gives the preliminary experimental results using low cost adsorbents viz; plantain flower petals, banana peels, snake gourd seeds, and egg shell in the eliminating methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions. The effect of various factors on the adsorption of the dye was studied in batch mode which includes pH, concentration of adsorbent and dosage of adsorbents. The study revealed that plantain flower petals were very effective in the removal of methylene blue dye and about 99.7 % removal of dye was observed.
