The present work deal with the study of adsorption of the methylene blue dye from aqueous solution using neutral material from aquatic plant (Lemna minor) collect from local habitat as low cost and eco-friendly adsorbents. Bach adsorption studies are carried out by observing the effect of experimental parameters such as amount of adsorbents, contact time, and concentration of dye. This study design to remove the dye from different industries effluents such as textile industries and sewage water. The results showed the removal percentage increasing with increasing adsorbent dosage and contact time, but decreasing with increasing of concentration of dye. The optimum time removal was found to be 90 minutes.
