Wastewater treatment using plant-derived bioflocculants: green chemistry approach for safe environment

Abstract The rapid expansion of global trade and human activities has resulted in a massive increase wastewater pollution into the atmosphere. Suspended solids, organic inorganic particles, dissolved heavy metals, dyes, other impurities contained from various sources are toxic to atmosphere pose serious health risks humans animals. Coagulation–flocculation technology is commonly used treatment remove cell debris, colloids, contaminants comfortable effective manner. Flocculants, both inorganic, have long been treatment. However, because their low performance, non-biodegradability, associated risks, use limited. eco-friendly bioflocculants become essential due implications chemical flocculants. Because availability, biodegradability, protection, plant-derived coagulants/flocculants plant-based grafted recently made significant progress This study will undoubtedly provide clearer understanding current state, challenges, solutions for bioflocculation remediation using green materials sake cleaner climate.
