Abstract

Removal of dyes from wastewater is one of the major concerns of the modern age. Dendrimers and their composites are emerging as effective materials for an array of applications due to their unique fractal architecture and peculiar characteristics. Herein, we aim to provide a critical review of the application of dendrimer complexes for adsorptive removal and catalytic degradation of dyes. Thoughtful attempt was made to elucidate the relationship of vital process parameters, composition of hybrids, and generation growth of dendrimers with dye-removal performance. This article provides performance evaluation, effects of process parameters, and mechanism for the eradication of dyes through dendrimer assisted adsorption and catalysis in light of key results reported in current literature.
