The Application of Modified Natural Polymers in Toxicant Dye Compounds Wastewater: A Review

Abstract: The utilization of various types of natural and modified polymers for removing toxicant dyes in wastewater generated by the dye industry is reviewed in this article. Dye wastewater contains large amounts of metals, surfactants, and organic matter, which have adverse effects on human health, potentially causing skin diseases and respiratory problems. The removal of dyes from wastewaters through chemical and physical processes has been addressed by many researchers. Currently, the use of natural and modified pol… Show more

“…A significant problem is that concentration of dyes in waters located near an industrial plant can reach up to 7000 mg/L [ 3 ]. Although the most frequently reported level of dyes in effluents is in the range of 10 to 250 mg/L [ 4 , 5 , 6 ], it turns out that even very small quantities (less than 1 ppm for some dyes) might result in unwanted changes in the water physical and chemical characteristics [ 7 ]. Dyes present in waters adsorb on the suspended organic matter forming sediments/sludges or due to their relatively high water-solubility remain dissolved [ 8 ].…”

“…The oxygen transfer mechanism and the self-purification process of environmental water bodies will get disturbed by this phenomenon [ 5 , 7 , 8 ]. Wastewater from the paint industry is a difficult effluent to treat, not only because of its high biological and chemical oxygen demand, high suspended solids content and other hazardous substances, but also because of the aesthetic harm it causes to the visual appearance [ 9 , 10 ]. These substances are often of synthetic origin and have a complex aromatic molecular structure, which increases their chemical and microbiological stability, hence their difficult removal from water.…”

“…This interesting topic requires the development of various technologies to treat colored waters. Biological treatment and coagulation/flocculation processes are viewed as ineffective to treat soluble dyes [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Adsorption appeared more effective as it is simple and economic and it is especially used to remove pollutants, which are not easily biodegradable.…”
