“…Various technologies, including adsorption, flocculation, membrane separation, chemical oxidation, and photocatalytic degradation, among others, have been used to treat colored wastewater (Bilińska et al, 2019;Chen et al, 2020;Xia et al, 2020); among which adsorption is considered to be economically efficient and very favorable (Awasthi & Datta, 2019;Naushad et al, 2019), mainly for industrial treatments in fixed bed columns (Alardhi et al, 2020;Charola et al, 2018). For the elimination of colorants in solution different types of adsorbent materials have been studied, with good adsorption properties, which include the activated carbon (Castellar-Ortega et al, 2020;Daoud et al, 2019;Patra et al, 2020), carbon nanotubes (Dutta et al, 2018;Elsagh et al, 2017;Saxena et al, 2020); biomass (Cheruiyot et al, 2019;da Silva & Pietrobelli, 2019;Jia et al, 2017), clays (Bentahar et al, 2019;Jawad & Abdulhameed, 2020;Thirumoorthy & Krishna, 2020), chitosan (da Silva et al, 2020Lipatova et al, 2018;Muedas-Taipe et al, 2020), bentonite (Khalilzadeh Shirazi et al, 2020;Saeed et al, 2020;Santos et al, 2020), zeolites (Abdelrahman, 2018;Humelnicu et al, 2017;Rashid et al, 2020) and diatomites (Mohamed et al, 2019;Sriram et al, 2020;Xia et al, 2020) among others.…”
