Recent Strategies for the Remediation of Textile Dyes from Wastewater: A Systematic Review

Abstract

The presence of dye in wastewater causes substantial threats to the environment, and has negative impacts not only on human health but also on the health of other organisms that are part of the ecosystem. Because of the increase in textile manufacturing, the inhabitants of the area, along with other species, are subjected to the potentially hazardous consequences of wastewater discharge from textile and industrial manufacturing. Different types of dyes emanating from textile wastewater have adverse effects on the aquatic environment. Various methods including physical, chemical, and biological strategies are applied in order to reduce the amount of dye pollution in the environment. The development of economical, ecologically acceptable, and efficient strategies for treating dye-containing wastewater is necessary. It has been shown that microbial communities have significant potential for the remediation of hazardous dyes in an environmentally friendly manner. In order to improve the efficacy of dye remediation, numerous cutting-edge strategies, including those based on nanotechnology, microbial biosorbents, bioreactor technology, microbial fuel cells, and genetic engineering, have been utilized. This article addresses the latest developments in physical, chemical, eco-friendly biological and advanced strategies for the efficient mitigation of dye pollution in the environment, along with the related challenges.

Enhanced Soil Decontamination via Electrokinetic Removal of Organic Pollutants

“…During the operation, it reduces health risks for workers and minimizes the need for extensive protective measures, particularly in hazardous environments. The employ of electrokinetic remediation is not limited to treating small contaminated areas [56]. The system can be scaled up to address large amounts of contaminants that are applicable for both localized pollution and widespread contamination.…”

Microbial Engineering for a Greener Ecosystem and Agriculture: Recent Advances and Challenges

“…13,14 Microbial inoculants including bacteria, fungi and algae produce novel enzymes; and secondary metabolites remove the harmful chemical with biobased processes. [15][16][17][18] Microbial engineering offers various approaches for sustainable agriculture and a greener environment by developing genetically modified microorganism through gene editing strategy that mainly include clustered CRISPR and TALEN technologies. 19 This review focused on the management and use of microbial inoculants with improved efficacy and strategies for sustainable maintenance of the ecosystem.…”

Performance of Mg/Al and Zn/Al Hydroxide Double Lamellar-Bentonite for Removal of Anionic Azo Dye from Aqueous Solution

“…Dyes are organic products that are extensively applied in the textile industry and are released at relatively high concentrations in effluents. They contribute to the toxicity of water and pose a growing danger to the environment, humans, and animals [1]. Azo dyes are the largest category of dyes, representing 60-70% of all dyes used for industrial purposes.…”
