Title: Amorphous Alloys, Degradation Performance of Azo Dyes: Review,
Abstract: Today freshwater is more important than ever before and it is contaminated
from textile industry. Removal of dyes from effluent of textile using amorphous
alloys has been studied extensively by many researchers. In this review article
it is presented up to date development on the azo dye degradation performance
of amorphous alloys, a new class of catalytic materials. Numerous amorphous
alloys have been developed for increasing higher degradation efficiency in
comparison to conventional ones for the removal of azo dyes in wastewater. One
of the objectives of this review article is to organize the scattered available
information on various aspects on a wide range of potentially effective in the
removal of dyes by using amorphous alloys. This study comprises the affective
removal factors of azo dye such as solution pH, initial dye concentration, and
adsorbent dosage. It was concluded that Fe, Mg, Co, Al and Mn-based amorphous
alloys with wide availability have appreciable for removing several types of
azo dyes from wastewater. Concerning amorphous alloys for future research, some
suggestions are proposed and conclusions have been drawn.
