Abstract

Graphical abstract: Highlights: Surface sorption and interstitial sorption are the mechanism for dye removal by PBC. There are various factors affecting dye adsorption by PBC. Optimum parameters need to be obtained for the maximum removal of dyes by PBC. The best dosage of PBC or modified PBC is generally 0.1–10 g/L. There are many contents worthy of in-depth study for the treatment of dyes by PBC. Abstract: Printing and dyeing wastewater (PDW) has characteristics of large amount of water, elevated content of residual dyes, poor biodegradability, high alkalinity and large change of water quality, making its treatment difficult. Development of efficient and economic PDW treatment technology has gained considerable interest in the field of environmental protection. Use of plant biomass carbon (PBC) for the adsorption of dyes is a feasible and economical technology. This review summarizes current literature discussing the preparation method and physicochemical characteristics of PBC prepared from different plant species, the effect of PBC on the removal of dyes, influencing factors affecting the removal, and relevant adsorption models. The shortcomings of current research and the direction of future research are also pointed out in the review.
