Abstract

Safe sources of natural water are becoming contaminated due to human activities such as industrialization, colonization and municipal wastes as the major sources. Various pollutants contaminate both surface and underground water reservoirs, posing significant hazards to ecosystems and human health. This article presents an overview of diverse sources of contaminants and their detrimental impacts on the environment and its inhabitants. Of particular concern are dyes, recognized as among the most perilous water pollutants due to their easily identifiable presence even without sophisticated detection technologies. Among the array of available techniques, adsorption emerges as one of the most suitable approaches for the removal of dyes from contaminated water. Consequently, the exploration of various adsorbents for dye removal is of paramount importance in safeguarding water quality and ecological integrity. This paper presents an overview of sustainable ways for removing contaminants from wastewater using nanofiltration technology.
