CURRENT AND FUTURE PROSPECTS OF DYE CONFISCATION POTENTIAL OF INORGANIC-BASED MATERIALS: A MINI REVIEWMOHD YUSUF, SHAFAT AHMAD KHAN, WANGMAYUM ABUL AND MUNESH SHARMAAbstract Currently, it is assumed that more than one thousand organic dyes are commercially available and utilized around the globe in enormous associated industries like textiles, paper, plastics, food and beverages as well as many others. Among all, azo-based dyes contribute about 70% of the total. However, polluted-effluent from dye-industries is highly visible and undesirable containing heavy metal ions, chemicals/dyes etc. cause the serious risks of their physical, developmental, reproductive, fatal diseases, potential human lethality and related problems on ecosystem components which circulate by the chain and web of food. Growing environmental concerns must be embraced to remove coloring components from the industrial discharges. Release of dyes into our life-saving water resources must be avoided and pressing need to treat wastewater with suitable and efficient method. Among various methods for dye removal, adsorption occupies one of the most suitable. The review highlights a literature exploration onto various adsorbents based on inorganic genera and their potential uses to remove dyes from contaminated water with recent progress and R&D. |
