Methods of Dyes Removal from Aqueous Environment

Abstract

In this paper selected methods of dyes removal from water environment were discussed, with particular attention to adsorption method. A literature review of the latest scientific research on colour impurities removal with the use of various types of adsorbents, was presented. Efficiency of the methylene blue removal process, with use of selected natural sorbents and activated carbons, was tested. The competitiveness of natural sorbents has been shown. It was confirmed that these materials are efficient in removing coloured compounds from aqueous solutions.
