Textile Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

Sustainable water management is a challenge all over the world because of contamination by different pollutants such as dyes. This is a major environmental and health problem. There are a number of methods for the removal of dyes but all the methods have one or the other type of demerit. Among all the methods, the adsorption process using different types of adsorbents is a cost-effective and efficient technique for removing toxic dyes from wastewater. There are varieties of dyes, which have different stabilities and are removed by different types of adsorbents. The most widely used adsorbent is commercially available activated carbon, which can be obtained from different sources. In addition, different forms of carbons such as carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube-based buckypaper, porous carbonaceous materials and their composites, agricultural-based activated carbons, metal-doped porous carbon materials, graphene oxide, and other forms of carbon have been used for dye removal from water by adsorption technique. In this chapter, different types of pollutants particularly dyes, methods of removal, preparation of carbons of different form, their characterization, and removal of dyes by adsorption under different conditions such as different pH, temperature, adsorbate doses, etc. have been discussed in detail. Different isotherm and kinetic models have been discussed in order to understand the mechanism of adsorption.
