TL;DR: Based on the adsorption capacity, it was shown that banana peel was more effective than orange peel and intraparticle diffusion of dyes within the particle was identified to be rate limiting.

TL;DR: In this article, the intraparticle diffusion model (IPD) was applied for the analysis of adsorption kinetics, and the characteristic curves based on this model were plotted with various initial adsorization factors (Ri).

TL;DR: A short review on the various spinel ferrites in microemulsions in the recent years is given in this paper, where the focus then shifts to the use of micro-mulsions as nanoreactors for the synthesis of spinels.

TL;DR: It was shown that the adsorption of reactive dyes and Cu(II) in the absence of complexing agents could be best described by the intraparticle diffusion model, whereas that of Cu( II) inThe absence ofcomplexing agents such as EDTA, citric acid, and tartaric acid by the pseudo-second-order equation.

TL;DR: The technical feasibility of the use of activated carbon, synthetic resins, and various low-cost natural adsorbents for the removal of phenol and its derivatives from contaminated water has been reviewed and it should be noted that the adsorption capacities of the adsorbent vary significantly depending on the characteristics of the individual adsorbENT, the extent of chemical modifications, and the concentrations of solutes.

TL;DR: The current available technologies are reviewed and an effective, cheaper alternative for dye removal and decolourisation applicable on large scale is suggested.

TL;DR: It is evident from a literature survey of about 210 recent papers that low-cost sorbents have demonstrated outstanding removal capabilities for certain dyes, and chitosan might be a promising adsorbent for environmental and purification purposes.

TL;DR: From a comprehensive literature review, it was found that some LCAs, in addition to having wide availability, have fast kinetics and appreciable adsorption capacities too.

TL;DR: An extensive list of various adsorbents such as natural materials, waste materials from industry, agricultural by-products, and biomass based activated carbon in the removal of various dyes has been compiled here.

TL;DR: The various methods of removal of synthetic dyes from waters and wastewater, employing activated sludge, pure cultures and microbe consortiums are described.
