Removal of Hazardous Organic Dyes from Liquid Wastes Using Advanced Nanomaterials

Abstract

The presence of organic dyes in aqueous environments is extremely hazardous to life due to the toxicity of these compounds. Thus, its removal from these various aquatic media is of the utmost importance, and several technologies are constantly being tested to meet this goal. Among these technologies, various types of degradation and adsorption techniques are typically used, and of the various types of materials used within these technologies, nanomaterials are constantly being developed and investigated, likely due to the various properties that these nanomaterials have. This work reviewed recent developments (in 2023) about the use of these nanomaterials in the treatment of solutions contaminated with these toxic organic dyes.
