Abstract

Dyes are colored compounds that are used in cosmetics, clothing, plastics, textile, and many more industries. Dyes attach themselves to the surfaces to give them color. Dyes are soluble in water and also make the water acidic. Organics dyes are toxic in nature and are one of the major contributing factors to water pollution because waste dyes are released into water bodies causing adverse effects on the aquatic environment. The dyes contain metal ions and other colored compounds. Since dyes are organic compounds they are aromatic rings and hence also have nitro, sulfo, chloro, and amidocyanogen chains which can be hazardous. Releasing organic dyes can also cause inhibit aquatic plant growth, it can also be consumed by a human and cause diarrhea and it can also make the water carcinogenic. ‘One way to remove waste dyes from water is adsorption. Adsorption is when molecules of a liquid, gas, or solution stick together to the surface of a solid, coating the solid (adhesion). The solid surfaces that they stick to are called sorbents. Sorbents are insoluble materials that are used to collect liquids by either absorption or adsorption. The three types of sorbents are Natural organic sorbents, Natural inorganic sorbents, and Synthetic sorbents (man-made materials).’5 In some places, dyes are removed from water using activated carbon but it is expensive and preparing it with the optimum conditions consumes a lot of energy, which prevents it from being used on a larger scale. The goal of this research is to show that Natural organic sorbents can be used to remove dyes from water as this is a more efficient, cheap, and most importantly environment-friendly method by measuring the turbidity of a solution.
