Abstract

Industrial effluents of dyes is a vital source of water pollution, their release from textile industries into surface water affects the ecosystem by generating oversized volumes of outlets mixed with several dyes. These dyes cause harmful health effects and lead to significant health concerns to humans and affect the environment. This chapter implements a contribution to environment in a sustainable view through adsorption and biosorption approaches to remove the methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions and from a real effluent of textile industry. In this survey, efficiencies of several adsorbents such as mineral, organic, synthetic, and low-cost materials are established. A brief insight into methylene blue dye removal mechanism and comparison among various adsorbents—Duste Apatite (DA), Phosphogypsium (PG), Raw Clay (RC), Glebionis coronaria L. (G. coronaria L.), Diplotaxis Harra (D. Harra), acidic and basic sawdust acacia (A-HCl and A-NaOH)—along with their sorption properties and their characteristics are discussed. Due to its good sorption capacity, chemically treated acacia tree sawdust has been successfully applied for eliminating textile dyes from wastewater. A real final effluent of a textile industry was thus treated by sorption on both acidic and basic chemically treated acacia tree sawdust.
