Non-conventional low-cost adsorbents for dye removal: A review
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.

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.

Recent developments in polysaccharide-based materials used as adsorbents in wastewater treatment
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the recent developments in the synthesis of adsorbents containing polysaccharides, in particular modified biopolymers derived from chitin, chitosan, starch and cyclodextrin, is presented.

Application of biosorption for the removal of organic pollutants: a review
TL;DR: In this article, a review examines a wide variety of microorganisms (fungi, yeasts, bacteria, etc.), which are capable of uptake of organic pollutants, discusses various mechanisms involved in biosorption, discusses the effects of various parameters such as pH, temperature, concentrations of organic pollutant, other ions, and biomass in solution, pretreatment method, etc.

The degradation of dyestuffs: Part II Behaviour of dyestuffs in aerobic biodegradation tests
TL;DR: In this paper, the results confirmed that dyestuffs are most unlikely to show any significant biodegradation in such tests and that substantial colour removal was observed which may be attributed to the elimination of the dyes by adsorption.
