Sustainable methods for treating toxic textile dyes in industrial wastewater
In short: Researchers reviewed the environmental impact of the global textile industry, which contributes significantly to water pollution and ecotoxicity through the use of harmful chemicals like dyes. The study highlights how these pollutants threaten human health and aquatic ecosystems while exploring various sustainable technologies designed to treat and recover resources from contaminated water.
The review examines several treatment strategies, including bio-adsorbents, biological methods, membrane technology, and advanced oxidation processes. It also evaluates physicochemical and biochemical techniques, weighing their specific advantages and disadvantages for industrial use.
A key focus of the research is moving toward a circular economy by recovering dyes, alkalis, and electrolytes from wastewater. However, as this is a review article, it synthesizes existing knowledge rather than presenting new experimental data.
Why it matters: Sustainable industrial waste management can protect human health and ecosystems by recovering valuable resources from polluted water.
