Abstract: 

Agricultural wastes products are quite commonly distributed as the result of agricultural practices. They are inexpensive and subject to biodegradable. This paper presents a review of dye adsorption using activated carbon prepared from different sources and environmental implications. Also, its major challenges together with future prospects are summarized and discussed. Conclusively, the production of activated carbon from waste biomass for adsorption of these dyes is of great importance in pollution control and environmental conservation. Agricultural waste is a good source for the adsorption of the dyes generated during the textile processing. For the process of adsorption, agricultural waste products are used as natural or in the modified form through activation process. This review article focuses on the various sources of the agricultural waste products and its adsorption capacity of the different dyes. Signifying the potential of the use of agricultural wastes products for removing off the toxic dye substances from the effluent discharging into the water bodies.
