The ashes resulting from the burning of sugarcane bagasse is a heterogeneous material and has various applications as an adsorbent. To enhance and assist in prospecting new applications is critical to better understand the properties of the material. In this work, its morphological, spectroscopic and elemental characterization of the ashes of sugarcane bagasse from three different plants and two different harvests and the prospect of its use as an adsorbent. The particles of the ash were separated according to their density and in order to characterize, FTIR was used in the investigation of chemical groups present in the samples, additionally to the SEM and EDS elemental and morphological characterization of the particles present in the samples. Cenospheres, spherical particles present in ash, were identified as coreshell structure, where the core is a mixed metal oxide and the shell is a layer of silicon dioxide. The correlation between the ratio of the relative abundance between the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups and the mass distribution of the granulometric extracts were used as indirect measure of the level of oxidation of the samples. The ashes’ adsorption capacity showed affinity for the methylene blue dye with an adsorption capacity of 39 mg of dye per gram of ash used, in contrast to the low adsorption of potassium chromate solution, 1.2 mg per gram of ash.
