“…PAC eliminates the harmful dyes more successfully than GAC. Traditionally, high-carbon content substances in a range of physical forms, such as coal, wood, shells of coconuts, sawdust, etc, are used to produce activated carbon [25]. Researchers are currently employing industrial and agricultural wastes to create activated carbon, though, in an effort to make the procedure more affordable.…”

“…While each of these approaches has advantages and disadvantages, the adsorption method is the most appealing since it is affordable, simple, quick to construct, and allows for the reagents to be reused. For quite a while, activated carbon has been known to be the most efficient adsorbent (Rai et al 2022) [25].…”

Environmentalists have been raising concerns about the concentration of dye in wastewater. A wide range of industries are the major contributors to increasing the percentage of dyes in wastewater, such as the food, paper, fabric, makeup, and textile sectors. This is really posing an issue for many organisms living in water. A range of biological, physical, and chemical techniques have been developed to eliminate dye from wastewater. Different treatment techniques are well known for their efficiency towards color removal since different industries utilize different dyes. Adsorption, filtering, and coagulation/flocculation are well-known methods for physical treatment. For biological treatment, the use of microbes and enzymes, in addition to biosorption and biodegradation, is well known for its efficiency. Furthermore, the chemical treatment used ozonation, photocatalysis, and electron transport. This research used an experimental method to test the efficiency of activated carbon (AC) created from sawdust as a dye remover from wastewater. The research revealed that the proposed method is useful in removing direct blue, green, and orange dyes from wastewater found in the textile dyeing industry.
