This paper focused on the adsorption of MB in aqueous solution on carbon derived from bamboo stalks. The experiments were conducted using the following parameters: absorbent mass of 0.05g; the solution volume of 25mL; shaking speed of 200 rounds/minute; equilibrium time of 90 minutes at room temperature (25±1⁰C); pH 7.0. Maximum adsorption capacity calculated by the Langmuir isothermal model was 250 mg/g at 25⁰C. In the temperature range of 298 to 318K, the values of ΔG^o < 0; ΔH^o = -14.965 kJ/mol implicates that the process is self-inflicted and exothermic. The result indicates that, the adsorption of MB on the carbon from bamboo stalks obeys Lagergren's second-order apparent kinetic model.
