Abstract
Water contamination with paints causes a colour agent to the water that negatively affects the environment, organisms, and humans. Different physicochemical processes are applied for wastewater treatment; however, they have many drawbacks such as high cost, generating toxic waste, and non-effective at low concentrations. Adsorption is considered a promising technique for pollutant removal from polluted wastewater. Commercial activated carbon, nano-materials, and natural biological materials are used as adsorbents in adsorption. This chapter focuses on discussing the adsorption process, the factors affecting the adsorption, different adsorption materials, and the isothermal, kinetic, and thermodynamic models. © 2023 selection and editorial matter, Irene Samy Fahim and Lobna A.
