Adsorptive removal of textile dyes from aqueous solution using a nonconventional lowcost adsorbent

Abstract

Water pollution due to the discharge of dyeing industry effluents is a major concern nowadays Dyeing industrial wastewater adversely affects the environment due to its high toxicity and nonbiodegradable nature Many techniques like electrochemical coagulation reverse osmosis nano filtration adsorption using activated materials etc are used for the removal of dye from wastewater Adsorption has been found to be an efficient and economical process to treat dyeing industry effluent In recent years many natural waste materials have been investigated to assess their suitability and ability to be used as an adsorbent newline
