Abstract

Dyes are complex unsaturated aromatic compounds used as coloring agents in different industries like textile, paper, tannery, photography, etc. The dye industries have sprouted like mushrooms with inappropriate dye effluent treatment technologies. Thus, the current situation demands effective and sustainable wastewater treatment methods. This review article covers the classification of dye, the impact of dye effluent on humans and its environment, the drawbacks of treatment approaches, the making of value-added products, and energy production from dye effluents. This review discussed various regular technologies that had already been applied; the advanced and sustainable physicochemical and biological approaches (hybrid constructed wetland, advanced oxidation method, nano photocatalysis, and ceramic membrane filtration) will be implemented in the future by reviewing. Though the recent technologies obtained are successful, the several downsides like high operating costs, the use of chemicals, secondary pollutant production, the need for adequate equipment, high electricity consumption, membrane fouling, scalability, and sludge disposal are the headache of the researchers. Among those technologies, the approaches like microbial remediation, phytoremediation, constructed wetland (MFC-CW), and fungal remediation are sustainable solutions in terms of treatment and resource recovery from dye effluent. The primary goal of this review article is to spread ideas about traditional and advanced treatment technologies to scientists and researchers currently engaged in dye effluent management.
