| Summary: | In many countries, water pollution from industrial wastewater is a serious problem. This type of pollution can have a harmful impact on the environment, to reduce the effects of these pollutants, several physico-chemical methods are implemented, in particular adsorption on bioadsorbents, it is a common process to remove traces of pollutants from water, the aim of our work is to realize a comparative experimental study of isotherms and adsorption kinetics of methylene blue (MB) on three substrates: sugar cane bagasse (SCB), almond shell (AS) and walnut shell (WS). The results of equilibrium kinetics show that walnut shell (WS) binds better to methylene blue than other substrates. The results also show that the adsorption kinetics are described by the expression of the pseudo-second order model. The isotherms of adsorption of methylene blue (MB) by sugarcane bagasse (SCB), walnut shell (WS) and almond shell are perfectly described by Langmuir's model and that walnut shell adsorbs methylene blue better than other substrates.
