The proper disposal of massive agricultural solid waste is one of main agricultural and environmental concerns. The bagasse and the corn cob are selected as two typical agricultural solid wastes in this study to investigate the adsorption kinetics and the equilibrium isotherms of the dye methylene blue (MB). It is shown that the adsorption rate is great and the equilibrium is reached in less than 4 h. The sorption kinetics can be well described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and is fitted with the R2 value greater than 0.9, indicating a chemisorption dominated process. The adsorption isotherms are non-linear, and can be well fitted by the Langmuir adsorption model. The bagasse and the corn cob show a good sorption capacity with respect to the MB, and the maximum adsorption amount of the MB by the bagasse and the corn cob are 22.03 and 19.72 mg/g, respectively.
