Abstract: Water is an important material that is necessary for life on Earth. It is a sign of pureness, simplicity, and rejuvenation, and it possesses the ability to transform the environment and nurture and is a basic need of life. With the rapid increase in population and urbanization which discharge different chemicals and dyes to environment, the pure quality of water is going to become impure which ultimately results in causing diseases to aquatic, plants and animal life. Multiple methods are available for wastewater treatment are explained. This explains the ability of clay-based materials as adsorbents for water purification, different types of clay specially for water clean-up, their characteristics, the mechanism and type of attachment between adsorbate and adsorbent and methods of modification to enhance their abilities. Multiple types of clay-based materials used in past for wastewater treatment and their future predictions and possibilities are explained. Finally, clay-based adsorbents are one the most potential adsorbents for wastewater treatment.
