In tropical countries, the palm tree is one of the most abundant and important trees. Date palm is a principal fruit grown in many regions of the world. It is abundant, locally available and effective material that could be used as an adsorbent for the removal of different pollutants from aqueous solution.
This article presents a review on the role of date palm as adsorbents in the removal of unwanted materials such as acid and basic dyes, heavy metals, and phenolic compounds. Many studies on adsorption properties of various low cost adsorbent, such as agricultural waste and activated carbons based on agricultural waste have been reported in recent years.
Studies have shown that date palm-based adsorbents are the most promising adsorbents for removing unwanted materials. No previous review is available where researchers can get an overview of the adsorption capacities of date palm-based adsorbent used for the adsorption of different pollutants. This review provides the recent literature demonstrating the usefulness of date palm biomass-based adsorbents in the adsorption of various pollutants.
在热带国家，棕榈树是最丰富和最重要的树木之一。枣椰树是世界上许多地区主要种植的水果。它是一种丰富、本地可得且有效的材料，可以用作吸附剂，从水溶液中去除不同的污染物。
本文综述了枣椰树作为吸附剂在去除不需要的物质（如酸和碱性染料、重金属和酚类化合物）方面的作用。近年来，已有许多关于各种低成本吸附剂（如农业废弃物和基于农业废弃物的活性炭）吸附性能的研究报告。
研究表明，基于枣椰树的吸附剂是去除不需要的物质最有前途的吸附剂。目前还没有可供研究人员全面了解用于吸附不同污染物的基于枣椰树的吸附剂的吸附能力的综述。本综述提供了最近的文献，证明了基于枣椰树生物质的吸附剂在吸附各种污染物方面的有用性。
