“…In an acidic environment, the H + ions existing in the dye solution promote the protonation of the surface functional groups of the perlite, increasing its positive surface charge [29]. The lower adsorption rate observed can be attributed to the competitive interaction between the MG dye molecules and the H + ions by adsorption sites, together with the repulsion generated between by the positively charged surface of the wastes and positive MG molecules [55].…”

“…When exposed to heat, it expands and becomes a lightweight material widely used in the construction industry [27]. In recent times, perlite has garnered significant attention as a viable substitute adsorbent that is natural, low-cost, and non-toxic, with high adsorption properties [28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. On the other hand, both during the extraction of raw perlite and the production and processing of expanded perlite, a significant amount of waste is generated, which is often discarded in landfill or inappropriately in construction dumps.…”

Perlite waste materials with different particle sizes were evaluated as potential candidates for removing the malachite green (MG) and Congo red (CR) dyes from contaminated water. Two types of waste, referred to as coarse (CP) and fine (FP), with particle sizes of 0.075 mm, 0.045 mm, and 0.037 mm, were used. The samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and N2 adsorption/desorption. The adsorption efficiency of MG and CR was investigated by varying the parameters of pH, contact time, and initial concentration. The reduction in particle size significantly influenced the removal of the CR dye, leading to an increase in the adsorption rate of 23.9% and 45.5% for CP and FP, respectively. Conversely, the adsorption of the MG dye on the residues was not affected by different particle sizes. CP and FP exhibited a removal rate exceeding 70% for both dyes. The adsorption of MG and CR on the wastes was well-described by the Sips isotherm model. The results of adsorption kinetics were best fit by the Elovich model. Perlite waste materials have demonstrated significant potential for the adsorptive remove of cationic and anionic dyes from aqueous solutions.

“…Agricultural crops absorb organic dyes from the soil, the dyes are transported from soils to plants and can inhibit root growth, damage root tips, lower the uptake of nutrients and water, reduce germination and photosynthetic pigments (Zhou, 2001 ). As only low levels of these dyes can be removed by the activated sludge process (Kandelbauer et al, 2007 ), when organic dyes (commonly, synthetic aromatic compounds) are to be removed from textile wastewater, adsorption is an inexpensive useful technique (Angelova et al, 2017 ; Bensalah, 2024 ; George et al, 2024 ; Khamis et al, 2024 ) and perlites (Mathew et al, 2018 ; Painer et al, 2022 ) are abundant, economically attractive adsorbents (Khoshraftar et al, 2023 ; Roulia & Vassiliadis, 2005 , 2008 ). Decolorized dyebath wastewaters (Roulia & Vassiliadis, 2021 ) with a nitrogen content reduced to acceptable levels meet the quality standards for surface and ground water and could effectively be applied to crops.…”

Dyes, considered as toxic and persistent pollutants, must be removed from organic wastes prior to their composting and application in sustainable agriculture. Azo dyes, capable of altering the physicochemical properties of soil, are difficult to expel by conventional wastewater treatments. C.I. Acid Black 1 (AB 1), a sulfonated azo dye, inhibits nitrification and ammonification in the soil, lessens the nitrogen use efficacy in crop production and passes substantially unaltered through an activated sludge process. The retention of C.I. Acid Black 1 by raw and expanded perlite was investigated in order to examine the potential effectiveness of this aluminosilicate material toward organic waste cleanup. Dye adsorption proved spontaneous and endothermic in nature, increasing with temperature for both perlites. Expanded perlite having a more open structure exhibited a better performance compared to the raw material. Several of the most widely recognized two-parameter theoretical models, i.e., Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Harkins–Jura, Halsey, Henderson, and Smith, were applied to reveal physicochemical features characterizing the adsorption. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, BET, Henderson, and Smith equations best fitted experimental data indicating that the adsorption of anionic dye on perlites is controlled by their surface, i.e., non-uniformity in structure and charge. This heterogeneity of surface is considered responsible for promoting specific dye adsorption areas creating dye “islands” with local dye supersaturations.

“…In the adsorption technique, activated carbons, metal organic cages (MOF) (Maraddi et al 2024 ), graphene oxides (Adel et al 2022 ), biosorbents (Li et al 2024 ; Tokay & Akpınar 2021 ), biochars (Liu et al 2023 ), nanoparticles, polymers, and clays are used (Abbou et al 2023 ). Different adsorbents are used, such as minerals (Khoshraftar et al 2023 ), composites, and zeolites (Murukutti & Jena 2022 ; Supelano et al 2020 ).…”

Increasing world population, urbanization, and industrialization have led to an increase in demand in production and consumption, resulting in an increase in industrial solid wastes and pollutant levels in water. These two main consequences have become global problems. The high Si and Al content of solid wastes suggests that they can be used as raw materials for the synthesis of zeolites. In this context, when the literature studies conducted to obtain synthetic zeolites are evaluated, it is seen that hydrothermal synthesis method is generally used. In order to improve the performance of the hydrothermal synthesis method in terms of energy cost, synthesis time, and even product quality, additional methods such as alkaline fusion, ultrasonic effect, and microwave support have been developed. The zeolites synthesized by different techniques exhibit superior properties such as high surface area and well-defined pore sizes, thermal stability, high cation exchange capacity, high regeneration ability, and catalytic activity. Due to these specific properties, zeolites are recognized as one of the most effective methods for the removal of pollutants. The toxic properties of heavy metals and dyes in water and their carcinogenic effects in long-term exposure pose a serious risk to living organisms. Therefore, they should be treated at specified levels before discharge to the environment. In this review study, processes including different methods developed for the production of zeolites from industrial solid wastes were evaluated. Studies using synthetic zeolites for the removal of high levels of health and environmental risks such as heavy metals and dyes are reviewed. In addition, EPMA, SEM, EDX, FTIR, BET, AFM, and 29Si and 27Al NMR techniques, which are characterization methods of synthetic zeolites, are presented and the cation exchange capacity, thermodynamics of adsorption, effect of temperature, and pH are investigated. It is expected that energy consumption can be reduced by large-scale applications of alternative techniques developed for zeolite synthesis and their introduction into the industry. It is envisaged that zeolites synthesized by utilizing wastes will be effective in obtaining a green technology. The use of synthesized zeolites in a wide variety of applications, especially in environmental problems, holds great promise. Graphical Abstract
