Dyes are extensively used to color products across various industries, including textiles, leather tanning, cosmetics, and pigments. The textile sector alone accounts for approximately 14% of India’s total industrial production, contributing around 4% to the nation’s GDP and generating about 27% of its total foreign exchange earnings. However, the discharge of effluents from these industries poses significant environmental and health risks. In India, textile industries consume over 100 liters of water to process just 1 kg of textiles, which has led to the contamination of surface and groundwater resources in several regions. To mitigate the detrimental impact of dyeladen wastewater on human health and ecosystems, effective treatment is essential before effluents are discharged into water bodies. Consequently, the removal of dyes from wastewater has gained considerable attention in recent years due to the harmful, often carcinogenic, effects of untreated textile effluents. Dye removal from wastewater can be accomplished using a range of physicochemical or biological methods. This paper reviews existing literature on the importance of remediation technologies aimed at efficiently removing textile dyes from industrial effluents, with a focus on improving fragile ecosystems worldwide.
