Factors affecting dyestuff adsorption such as technique applied (mechanical shaking and ultrasonic), time, temperature, amount of substrate and concentration of the dyestuff have been thoroughly investigated. It is found that % colour removal depends on (i) nature of reactive dye used, (ii) degree of purity of adsorbent i.e. either native, alkali-treated or bleached cellulose, and (iii) technique applied during dye adsorption.enUniversity of Colour removalDyeingReactive dyeRice strawUltrasonic techniqueAQUEOUS-SOLUTIONADSORPTIONArticle
