The purpose of this study is to enrich the approaches and methods for valorization and utilization of the essential oil industry by-products and to outline the perspectives in this area. As a possible practical application lavender and rose by-products were used as a bioadsorbents for removal of textile industry dyes. The influence of contact time, adsorbent amount and temperature was investigated. The efficiency of adsorption with lavender and rose by-products was compared with activated carbon, Al₂O₃ and silica gel. The results suggested that lavender and rose solid by-products could be successfully utilized as biosorbents for purification of textile industry waste waters.
