The textile industry stands as a major contributor to water pollution, primarily due to the release of diverse pollution streams originating from printing processes and textile dyeing. This comprehensive book commences by presenting a comprehensive exploration of various types of Poly (vinyl alcohol) PVA-derived adsorbents, including gels, fibers, films, composite particles, membranes, and photocatalysts, which are combined with conventional adsorbents, polymers, carbonaceous and metallic materials, to effectively eliminate dyes from contaminated water.

The subsequent chapters delve into the diverse properties of nanocomposite membranes, encompassing hydrogels, xerogels, and aerogels, which are utilized in this pursuit. Additionally, this book showcases a wide array of polymer-based adsorbents, including ceramic adsorbents, clay, hydrogels, starch, cellulose, chitosan, alginates, and more, each of which plays a crucial role in the removal of dyes from polluted water.

By comprehensively covering these topics, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, and professionals engaged in the field of water pollution control and remediation, providing insights into the latest advancements and effective strategies for addressing the challenges posed by textile industry pollution.
