Abstract

Industrial wastewater contains various harmful pollutants, and effectively treating these pollutants is crucial for environmental protection and public health. This review paper examines various adsorbent materials used in industrial wastewater treatment. The characteristics and applications of key adsorbents, such as activated carbon, zeolite, nanomaterials, and bioadsorbents, are introduced, and the advantages and disadvantages of each material are discussed. Furthermore, the paper suggests directions for the improvement of adsorbent materials and future research, emphasizing the importance of developing sustainable materials and utilizing nanotechnology. The need for modeling and optimization of adsorption processes is also highlighted. This paper underscores the significance of adsorbent materials in industrial wastewater treatment and provides a guide for future research directions.
