Abstract

Dye effluents have caused increasing concern about environmental problems. Due to its toxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenesis, and produce lethal waste, the removal of dyed wastewater has been focused on. In this chapter, polymeric adsorbents, including biopolymers, dendritic polymers, porous organic polymers, molecularly imprinted polymers, and also poly(vinyl alcohol)-based and polyaniline-based polymers are compelling candidates with features such as solid bonds, good mechanical, chemical, and thermal stability, high adsorption capacity, and a wide range of pore structures were critically discussed. This chapter shows that polymeric adsorbents have demonstrated remarkable removal efficiency for dye pollutants.
