Abstract

The development of social life and the industrialization of countries have led to increased environmental pollution.Among the industrial pollutants entering the water flow, synthetic dyes are of particular importance due to their chemical stability and resistance to bio-degradation. Due to the complexity of contaminants found in the water resources, the use of high-performance adsorbents in dye removal is unavoidable. Among the various adsorbents, polymer-based electrospun nanofibres can be used as effective membrane materials for environmental refinement due to light weight, high surface area and continuous porous structure and functionality. In addition, modified    nanofiber adsorbents improve the absorption performance effectively. In this study, several investigations reported on the field of the application of polymeric nanofibers in dyes separation from aqueous media have been reviewed and the results of the reported literature in each case, have been studied and compared.
