Currently, textile companies and industries in general dispose of a large amount of effluents which have a high amount of toxic substances, among them are colorants, mostly used in textile industries. Faced with this problem, treatment techniques or methods arise for the elimination of these colorants, among them is one of the most important as the adsorption method that is characterized by its effectiveness in the removal of colorants, the resulting activated carbon being the main However, this adsorbent agent is sometimes very expensive, so an ecological and low-cost alternative is the use of agro-industrial or agricultural residues as adsorbent agents. In this research, information is collected about agro-industrial residues that can eliminate dyes and assessing their adsorption effectiveness. By means of the PRISMA method and by means of a search strategy, 48 articles were obtained, which we dedicated to carrying out and achieving the objective of the research.
