The discharge of dyes is one of the major water pollution which can cause severe damage to both human beings and animal. Hence, the need for treatment of wastewater containing dyes. This research was aimed at finding out the potential of beans husk as a viable adsorbent for treatment of dye-containing wastewater.The bean husk potential adsorbent was washed, dried and sieved. It was then characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometry (FTIR), Energy dispersive spectrophotometry (EDS).The adsorbent prepared has several pores, with functional group like O-H, S-H, C=C and C=O for the bond formation between the adsorbent and the dyes. The carbon and carbon compounds-content of bean husk is very high (100% CK). The bean husk is suitable as an adsorbent for the decolurization of textile wastewater. And has a potential of being effective for wastewater treatment.Downloads
