Treatment of Textile Wastewater using Low-Cost Adsorbent

Abstract

Due to an increase in industrialization, both water utilization and wastewater generation are high. Dyes in textile wastewater are very dangerous to the environment, and their elimination is quite challenging. The current study is focused to make a component to remove dye from textile effluent using MOF embedded into beads. This project aims to enhance the elimination of such dyes by beads and to enhance the removal efficiency. Beads are produced with a natural polymer originating through algae. The production of a material with a reduced environmental impact is made possible by the utilization of sustainable natural resources. The beads' synthesis and characterization have been reported. The conventional cleaning and treatment processes are energy and cost intensive. The separation of methylene blue dye from solutions was used to test beads adsorption properties. The effects of the beads' initial adsorption, pH, temperature, and kinetics have also been evaluated. Because of their significantly smaller diameter and improved surface area per unit volume, the use of beads improves dye adsorption and removal performance. Metal organic framework impregnated beads have been discovered to be a possible biomaterial for removing textile dyes from apparel wastewater.
