“…The uses of biomass/ biomaterials in the treatment of wastewater are highly successful due to its low cost, high efficiency, regeneration of biosorbents and less chemical or biological sludge generation (Dogan et al, 2009). A number of low cost biosorbents such as spent tea leaves (Hameed, 2009), modified wheat straw (Zhang et al, 2011), peanut husk (Song et al, 2011), Citrus sinensis bagasse , Green pea peels (Dod et al,2012), oil palm empty fruit bunch fibers (Sajab et al, 2013), pine saw dust (Witek-Krowiak, 2013), Cattail leaves (Guechi and Hamdaoui, 2013), egg shells (Podstawczyk et al, 2014), breadnut peel (Chieng et al,2015) have been studied in the literature for their capacity to remove methylene blue from aqueous solutions.…”
