Abstract:
The increase in population growth, industrialization and climate change will lead to an increase in scarcity of water in the next few decades. The pressing issue of water scarcity, exacerbated by the growing population, necessitates immediate action [1]. The key to addressing these concerns is treating polluted water by removing contaminants. Various physical, chemical, and biological techniques and integrated systems are widely utilized in wastewater treatment for safe disposal or reuse [2, 3]. The traditional wastewater treatment methods have some efficiencies and show several drawbacks such as energy consumption, toxic by-products, and large areas for the treatments. These drawbacks prompt the researchers to look for more efficient technologies for contaminants removal from wastewater [4]. Adsorption is one of the most efficient physicochemical methods since it is cost-effective, flexible, and versatile [5]. Since the synthesis and regeneration of synthetic adsorbent is still cost-prohibitive, this work focuses on the design, modification and testing of sustainable, low-cost cost and green solutions as a win-win strategy to improve waste management and achieve environmental protection aiming to remove several classes of contaminants (drugs, oil, dyes) through the application of efficient and sustainable solutions.
