“…These methods can broadly be classified as biological, chemical and physical (Adinew, 2012). Specifically, decolourization, degradation or removal of crystal violent from aqueous solution has been investigated using biodegradation methods (Azmi et al, 1998;Oranusi and Ogugbue, 2005;ZablockaGodlewska et al, 2009;Thorat and Sayyad, 2010;Gursahani and Gupta, 2011;Tom-Sinoy et al, 2011;Kunjadia et al, 2012), methods involving chemical reaction (Mohammed et al, 2011;Patil, 2011;Su and Wang, 2011;Fayoumi et al, 2012;Ovejero et al, 2012) and adsorption methods (Chen et al, 2011;Lin et al, 2011;Nidheesh et al, 2011;Patil et al, 2011;Rammel et al, 2011;Gandhimathi et al, 2012;Nidheesh et al, 2012a;Pandian et al, 2012;Patil and Shrivastava, 2012;Prasad and Santhi, 2012;Shouman et al, 2012). Among these three approaches, adsorption is the preferred method because it does not leave any toxic residue behind in the treated water.…”
