The feasibility of employing Malina Sawdust as a biosorbent for the removal of oil from produce water was examined. Malina sawdust, a byproduct from sawmills, was transformed into a cost-effective biosorbent through various physical methods such as drying, crushing, and sieving. Its sorption capacity was assessed using isotherms, and the results indicated a 94% removal of oil, suggesting its efficacy as a viable biosorbent for oil removal in applicable scenarios. The data generated from the sorption experiments were employed in isotherms, revealing a higher regression in Freundlich plots, signifying that the adsorption process is best described by this particular isotherm. The high Freundlich regression coefficient (R2=0.9632) suggests a physical nature of the adsorption process (Febrianto et al., 2009). Elemental analysis of the sorbent unveiled a composition primarily consisting mainly of carbon, calcium, iron and potassium. It also showed trace amounts of other elements. Surface morphology examination indi
