| Summary: | Colored industrial wastewater is a threat in many environmental aspects. As such, there is a need to find more effective methods for its purification. This article presents a brief overview of available methods for removing dyes from aqueous solutions, among them the adsorption process, which is the subject of this study. The course of preliminary tests on the process of cleaning dye solutions in the adsorption process is presented. Unmodified magnetite and magnetite modified with polymers were used as adsorbents. The synthesis of particular types of magnetite, the adsorption process, as well as the methods of further analyzes are described. As part of the work, the focus was put on a comparison of the effectiveness of the purification process for different types of adsorbents in relation to selected dyes. The varied conditions of the process were also analyzed. It has been shown that magnetite is an adsorbent that is easy to use, allowing effective separation of dyes of various chemical structures from aqueous solutions. The effectiveness of the process depends on the type of dye and on the pH value and can be increased in relation to some dyes by using magnetite modification with selected polymers.
