Abstract

Without colour, life is incomplete. Dye refers to the compounds that give goods their colour. Even though natural dyes have been used for generations, their limitations have led to the development of synthetic dyes. By addressing the history and significance of natural dyes, the limitations of natural dyes, the introduction of synthetic dyes, the negative effects of synthetic dyes, and an overview of several techniques used for the treatment of disposed dyes in the environment, this chapter serves as a foundation for the discussion of the entire upcoming book. The goal of this chapter is to provide a brief overview of the need for and the concept of dye degradation.
