“…In addition, due to the color they provide to fluvial beds, they impede the natural photosynthetic activity of aquatic plants, preventing the penetration of sunlight, damaging the aquatic biota directly or indirectly [6]. Several scientific publications are focused in studies on the treatment of waste with dye loading by means of physical, chemical, biological and electrochemical treatments; however, none of these methods eliminates the harmful substances, in most cases, only the solutions are decolorized, therefore they are used in combination [4,5,7], which requires complex methodologies and higher costs [8,9]. A solution, economically viable, for this problem is the adsorption using as adsorbent material clays, abundant in nature and with adsorptive properties widely studied, which come mainly from its capacity of cation exchange and large surface area [10].…”
