Definition
Here in this review, we are providing a detailed discussion of the demerits of conventional chemical agents and conventional treatment techniques. Along with it, we are providing the possible green alternative materials for wastewater treatment and advanced treatment technologies with minimum toxic effects.
Introduction
Water resources like lakes, oceans, and rivers are always critical for humanity. Water resources are the core of life. Freshwater availability is essential for ecology, human, and every creature. The population growth, heavy urbanization, growing industrialization, and raising food production are major factors behind the deterioration of freshwater quality and the water crisis in the world (McLaughlin 2011). In some places, plenty of water is available, but the water quality is not drinkable. The illegal discard of...
