Abstract

Water resources are getting contaminated globally in a very fast manner due to natural and anthropogenic practices. If this happens with such a pace, it will lead to freshwater scarcity. Therefore, economically feasible, easy to use and technically simple technologies for water treatment must be developed proactively. Adsorption technique, among the other water treatment technologies, might be favorable for the said purpose in terms of techno-economic aspects (cheap, universal, and eco-friendly). However, conventional adsorbents like clay, silica gel, activated carbon, limestone, and activated alumina have certain inherent issues which make their real-world application limited. Therefore, emerging nanoadsorbents may be employed as a replacement of conventional adsorbents in wastewater treatment. Nanoadsorbents have high surface area, porosity, and tunable characteristics. The challenges with the application of nanoadsorbents for wastewater treatment include identification of low-cost and sustainable adsorbent precursor materials. The agricultural residue-derived nanoadsorbents have a potential to deal with the above challenges. A variety of agricultural residue-derived adsorbents such as nanosilica, nanocellulose, nanobiochar and their composites have been developed and used for wastewater treatment. This chapter gives an overview of the available wastewater treatment technologies and covers the development and application of agricultural residue-derived nanoadsorbents for wastewater treatment including the concepts like operating mechanism, regeneration and selection of adsorbents. Chapter ends with the conclusions and potential recommendations.
