Unveiling the interactions between biomaterials and heterocyclic dyes: A sustainable approach for wastewater treatment

Xiangyuan Kong et al. Chemosphere. 2023 Oct.

Abstract

The present Review investigates the interactions between biomaterials and heterocyclic dyes, focusing on their potential application in sustainable wastewater treatment. Heterocyclic dyes are widely used in various industries, resulting in their widespread presence in wastewater, posing environmental challenges. This review explores the utilization of biomaterials as adsorbents for the removal of heterocyclic dyes from contaminated water sources. The interactions between biomaterials, such as cellulose, microfibrilated cellulose and lignin and different heterocyclic dyes are examined through reported experimental analysis and characterization techniques. The study evaluates the adsorption capacity, kinetics, and thermodynamics of the biomaterial-dye systems to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and optimize the treatment process. The review highlight the promising potential of biomaterial-based approaches for sustainable wastewater treatment, providing insights for the development of efficient and environmentally friendly dye removal technologies.

Keywords: Cellulose; Dyes; Fiber-dye interaction; Lignin; Micro-fibrillated cellulose; Wastewater treatment.
