“…Adsorption has shown to have some advantages over the mentioned methods due to its high efficiency in the removal of dyes from wastewater including dilute solutions, and the absence of sediment produced in its operation [ 4 , 12 , 19 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Different adsorbents have been synthesized for the removal of dyes from clays such as SBA-15, Bentonite, and other materials [ 2 , 4 , 17 , 27 , 28 , 29 ], up to the manufacture of activated carbon from different sources, however, there are large losses and high operating costs due to the possibility of pore blockage, hydroscoping, and incineration when using high temperatures [ 5 , 19 , 22 , 24 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]. These drawbacks have encouraged several researchers to study other cheap, abundant materials that have similar efficiency to materials synthesized by chemical processes, therefore the use of agro-industrial residues was considered, which are cheap and, easily available materials that only need a simple pretreatment and are materials with properties that can be exploited in another industry as well as being good candidates for the adsorption of various contaminants [ 8 , 12 , 14 , 19 , 22 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ].…”
