Adsorption of methylene blue on low-cost adsorbents: A review

TL;DR: It is evident from a literature survey of about 185 recently published papers that low-cost adsorbents have demonstrated outstanding removal capabilities for MB, and these include agricultural wastes, industrial solid wastes, biomass, clays minerals and zeolites.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review on chemical coagulation/flocculation technologies for removal of colour from textile wastewaters.

TL;DR: Some novel pre-hydrolysed coagulants such as Polyaluminium chloride (PACl), Polyal aluminium ferric chloride (PAFCl), Polyferrous sulphate (PFS) and Polyferic chloride (PFCl) have been found to be more effective and suggested for decolourisation of the textile wastewater.

Cationic and anionic dye adsorption by agricultural solid wastes: A comprehensive review

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of agricultural solid wastes to remove two classes of dye, cationic and anionic dyes, was discussed and a simple comparison among cationi-and anionic dye adsorption by the same adsorbent was made, thus possibly opening the door for a better understanding of the dye-classified adaption process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficiency of various recent wastewater dye removal methods: A review

TL;DR: In this article, a review of existing research papers on various biological, chemical and physical dye removal methods to find its efficiency through percentage of dye removal is presented, which highlights enzyme degradation and adsorption (physical) dye removal as these are known as one of the most efficient dye removal techniques these days.
