The latter, is one of the most important methods of waste water treatment; it is based on the use of the activated carbon as adsorbent because of its excellent properties of adsorption, but the high cost of activated carbon has prompted several researchers to find other low-cost adsorbents for the elimination of coloring agents from contaminated water, for example some few inexpensive biosorbents are used to eliminate the cationic dye, the methylene blue, including yellow passion fruit waste [11], bagasse [12], neem (azadirachta indica) leaf powder [13], posidonia oceanica [14], coffee husks [15], papaya seeds [16] and brazilian pine-fruit shell [17].
