“…Thus, CV dye removal is mandatory before discharging CV-contaminated wastewater into water body to circumvent possible health hazard associated with it. There are many methods to treat dye-house effluent and the main ones can be classified as chemical oxidation [ 11 ], ozonation [ 12 ], electrochemical [ 13 ], coagulation/flocculation [ 14 ], membrane filtration [ 15 ], photo-degradation [ 16 ], biological [ 17 ], precipitation [ 18 ] and adsorption process [ 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Among these methods, adsorption is preferred because of its simplicity and high removal efficiency.…”
