Dyes are hazardous pollutants dischrged todischarged into the environment from textile industries’ effluents and can cause harm to humans. In this present work, rice husk, an agricultural waste, was developed into a sulfonated adsorbent for the sorption of dye from industrial effluent. Rice husk of 0.710 mm was partially carbonized in the presence of concentrated sulphuricsulfuric acid of 98% purity. The proximate analysis was carried out on the raw rice husk sample, while X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) analyses were performed on both the raw rice husk and the developed adsorbent. From the proximate analysis, the rice husk had a moisture content of 13.95%, ash content of 22.60%, 27.97% crude fibre, 3.06% protein content, 8.43% lipid content, and 23.99% carbohydrate content. Based on the SEM analysis, the rice husk adsorbent (RHA) had a large pore diameter compared to the raw rice husk (RH) samples. The raw rice husk’s and adsorbent’s surfacesurface's functional groups were examined by Fourier Transform Infrared Technique (FTIR).
