Low cost adsorbent prepared from Raphia hookerie fruit epicarp was used for RhB removal.
Optimum adsorption was obtained at pH 3.
Adsorption process fits the Freundlich isotherm and Pseudo second order kinetics model.
Maximum monolayer adsorption capacity obtained 666.67 mg/g.
RhB was found stable on the surface of the adsorbents thus desorption efficiency was less 25%.
