Emerging and Ecofriendly Technologies for the Removal of Organic and Inorganic Pollutants from Industrial Wastewaters

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Environmental pollution is one of the major problems of the current world, and providing a sustainable solution to manage pollution is a key challenge. Industries are mainly responsible for the environmental pollution as they discharge highly toxic pollutants in the receiving environment and provide chance for exposure to mankind and, thus, may create toxicity in humans and animals. The physicochemical methods used for the removal of a variety of organic and inorganic pollutants from industrial wastewater are costly and environmentally destructive and may create secondary pollution and, thus, ultimately deter the environmental quality. To overcome these problems, various emerging and ecofriendly technologies are becoming popular for the removal of various pollutants from industrial wastewaters. Therefore, this chapter provides an overview of the various emerging and ecofriendly technologies for the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants from industrial wastewaters with their merits and demerits.
