This paper describes the removal of Reactive Blue 114 dye from aqueous solutions by using pomelo (Citrus grandis) peel. Pomelo peel can be described as a new, low cost, abundantly available adsorbent. The optimum adsorbent mass, dye concentration, contact time and pH were determined in this study. The parameters of Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin adsorption isotherms were also obtained using concentrations of the dyes ranging from 1.0 to 200 mg/L. Maximum adsorption capacity was obtained as 16 mg/g at pH 2 and 303 K solution temperature. The adsorption process was observed to be reaching equilibrium after about 90 min.
