Abstract

AbstractAccessibility to clean drinking water is inevitable for the survival of mankind. With the current scenario of rapid industrialization; the availability of potable water has turned into a global issue. Textile industries, and it’s like, largely involve the use of organic dyes, thereby directly polluting the water bodies. In a bid to remediate water pollution caused by dyes, nanofibrous material shave sparked considerable attention as superior materials for the removal of organic pollutants in aqueous media. Such materials are endowed with magnificent attributes like greater specific surface area, high porosity, controllable pore diameter, and enhance thermal & mechanical behavior, which could be beneficial toward wastewater treatment. Among all, ceramic nanofibers (NFs) have been potent because of their inertness, improved mechanical and thermal properties, resistance against chemical erosion and corrosion. In particular, ceramic NFs synthesized by the electrospinning technique have garnered much consideration. In the field of wastewater treatment, utilization of electrospun NFs by adsorption technique has profound interest wherein adsorption is labeled as one of the most efficient and economical routes. This chapter provides a comprehensive summary of electrospun ceramic NFs and their use as potential adsorbent material for the removal of various toxic dyes from contaminated water. This chapter also focuses on the technique of adsorption for the removal of toxic dyes from wastewater using ceramic NFs.KeywordsElectrospinningCeramic nanofiberDyesAdsorption
