Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) (PVA)-Based Treatment Technologies in the Remediation of Dye-Containing Textile Wastewater

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Polymer Technology in Dye-containing Wastewater

Abstract

The global water resources have been tainted because of large textile effluents discharge. The speedy increase of noxious dyes contaminated wastewater from various industries is posing a hazard to the environment and public health. Therefore, it has enforced a key task about the needful development of water treatment systems. Dye decontamination and its elimination have become an intensifying challenge worldwide. Several biological and physicochemical treatment options are available. But the real interest in these methods is their future implementation. Regarding this, polymer technology is catching huge interest. In this chapter, various types of Poly (vinyl alcohol) PVA-derived adsorbents (gels, fibers, films, composite particles), membranes, and photocatalysts in combination with conventional adsorbents, polymers, carbonaceous and metallic materials are documented for the elimination of several dyes from contaminated water. Several adsorption interaction mechanisms between contaminant dyes and PVA-based functional materials are discussed. Finally, the applications of these materials for different water treatment technologies are debated. It is expected that PVA-derived emerging materials for dye elimination have great potential to be scaled up. Inspection of these materials for potential applications in adsorption, filtration, and degradation are discussed. These treatment options are progressing day by day with the capacity to treat color-contaminated waters around the globe.
