Wastewater Treatment for Heavy Metals and Dyes Using Low-Cost Biosorbents: A Review
Abstract
The pollution of industrial wastewater with heavy metals and dyes is a highly important environmental problem, because of the propagation of the pollution and because of its unfavourable consequences. Sustainable wastewater treatment is one of the foremost challenges of this century. Various waste materials characterized by lignocellulose composition are low cost, non-conventional adsorbent for biosorptive removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Recent studies point to the potential of use of low-cost materials (zeolites, carrot residue and green tea waste) as effective sorbents for the removal of Cd2+ from aqueous solution. The use of bentonite to the treatment of wastewater containing reactive dyes in aqueous solutions requires the modification of the hydrophilic surface by inorganic cations with organic cations exchange. The use of bentonite as an inexpensive sorbent for the removal of Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) from synthetic aqueous solutions has been also presented in recent studies. The influence of some parameters such as: pH, initial dye concentration, sorbent dose on sorption kinetics for dye removal has been reviewed in this paper.
