%X The prospect of water shortages in the near future illuminates a warning about the indiscriminate use of thisfeature, since its availability is increasingly limited. This fact makes discussions about the conscious use of waterwill become increasingly common either by environmental groups, government agencies, researchers, and often insociety in general. In this context the search for low cost adsorbent noteworthy, since in many cases, this materialmust be used in large scale for the treatment of water which prevents the use of a material of high value. Theextraction of babassu oil for biofuel production has been extensively studied, but in many cases, the pie from theextraction of oil is disposed of improperly generating environmental impacts. In this context, this paper aims to testthe adsorption of the cationic dye methylene blue in babassu to try to add value to a material often irregularlydisposed in addition to helping the textile industries in sustainability in relation to water use.
