In recent years, zero-valent nano-iron (nZVI) has received extensive attention due to its excellent decolorization effect on dye wastewater. In this paper, zero-valent nano-iron-nickel (nZVIN) powders were prepared by a simple, efficient and non-polluting method. The powder has a unique core-shell structure and excellent oxidation resistance. Hence the problem that nZVI powders are easily oxidized and difficult to store is solved. Due to the addition of Ni, the magnetic properties of the nZVIN powders are enhanced, which facilitates the recycling of the powders using a magnetic field after sewage treatment. In the decolorization treatment of dye wastewater simulated with Congo red (CR) dye, nZVIN powders can maintain a removal rate of more than 90% for CR solutions with different pH values (7.0-11.5) and an initial dye concentration (50-200 mg L). The research results show that nZVIN powders have broad application prospects in the treatment of azo dye wastewater.

The increasing prevalence of micropollutants like cationic and anionic dyes in wastewater creates an influential environmental challenge, mainly due to their toxic effects and persistence. Current methods often lack the efficiency and versatility to cope with a wide variety of contaminants. This study explores the modification of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF) using (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC) to enhance their cationic properties.

This study aims to investigate a new approach to removing hazardous dyes like Direct Blue 86 (DB86) and Acid Yellow 36 (AY36) from aqueous environments. Delonix regia biochar-sulphur (DRB-S), made from Delonix regia seed pods (DPSPs), is an inexpensive and environmentally friendly adsorbent. Different characterization investigations using BJH, BET, FTIR, SEM, DSC, TGA, and EDX were utilized in the descriptions of the DRB-S biosorbent.

The contamination of water with dyes stemming from the discharge of industrial waste poses significant environmental risks and health concerns. In this study, the phytoremediation potential of the wetland plant was investigated (as a function of plant biomass, pH, contact time, and initial dye concentration) for the removal of methylene blue and methyl red dyes from wastewater. The experimental adsorption capacities under the optimum conditions were found to be 1.

A flexible cotton-based Ag/AgPO/MXene (APMX) ternary composite material was successfully synthesized, serving as a dual-function and reusable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate for both sensitive detection and efficient organic dye degradation. The remarkable SERS properties of the composite can be attributed to the combined effects of electromagnetic enhancement by Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs), charge transfer enhancement from AgPO, and the chemical enhancement mechanisms associated with MXene. When employed for the detection of crystal violet (CV), the material exhibits outstanding sensitivity, achieving a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 3.
