“…Over the years, mankind has produced a large amount of waste, resulting in a deterioration of life quality [37]. Figure 2 shows how this damage to the environment has been caused by several factors including sediment, biological and chemical pollution [38]. Sediment pollution occurs due to the accumulation of chemicals adsorbed in the soil, which concentrate pollutants and affect photosynthesis.…”

“…The nature of this waste is purely organic, being a mixture of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates such as human feces, food leftovers and industrial waste [41]. When such waste begins to decompose, it consumes the oxygen available in water, causing the death of various aquatic organisms, generates an increase in the proliferation of algae (eutrophication) due to the high concentrations of nutrients and might enhance pathogen growth due to the use of contaminated drinking and recreational water [38].…”

“…Agroindustry is largely responsible for the chemical contamination of underground aquifers, due to the release of agrochemicals from wastewater [15]. Some of the main chemical pollutants discharged into watercourses are heavy metals (present in the residues from various industrial sectors such as textiles), domestic and industrial sewage, pesticides and agricultural fertilizers, plastics and synthetic organic compounds (oil and petroleum derivatives) [38].…”

Biocellulose for Treatment of Wastewaters Generated by Energy Consuming Industries: A Review

Water and energy are two of the most important resources used by humanity. Discharging highly polluting wastewater without prior treatment is known to adversely affect water potability, agriculture, aquatic life and even society. One of the greatest threats to water sources are contaminated effluents, which can be of residential or industrial origin and whose disposal in nature must comply with specific laws aimed at reducing their environmental impact. As the oil industry is closely related to energy consumption, it is among the sectors most responsible for global pollution. The damage caused by this industrial sector is present in all countries, whose legislations require companies to carry out wastewater treatment before disposal or recycling in their production process. Bacterial cellulose membranes have been shown to be efficient as filters for the removal of various contaminants, including biological and chemical agents or heavy metals. Therefore, their use could make an important contribution to bio-based technological development in the circular economy. Moreover, they can be used to produce new materials for industry, taking into consideration current environmental preservation policies aimed at a more efficient use of energy. This review aims to compare and describe the applications of cellulose membranes in the treatment of these effluents.

“…Apart from the aesthetics of water looking colorful and undesirable due to dye contamination, light penetration is also reduced in the water, severely affecting the photosynthetic activities of aquatic flora, which Crystals 2022, 12, 1153 2 of 13 leads to disturbances in the food chain of aquatic organisms [7]. It also reduces the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, thereby increasing biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), which eventually damages aquatic fauna [8]. Dyes are stable organic pollutants that persist in water, and efforts have been made to degrade such pollutants, such as methyl orange, methylene blue, methylene red, and rhodamine, etc.…”

In this work, we report the engineering of sub 30 nm nanoparticles of copper oxide (CuO) and Zinc oxide (ZnO) and their nanocomposite, using a green method, to degrade an organic dye (methyl orange) that is responsible for water pollution. The plant extract of Eucalyptus globulus was used as a capping and stabilizing agent, as it is non-toxic, easy to use, and affordable. The percent purity and composition of the samples were found using Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), which confirmed the formation of 75% CuO nanoparticles, 77.81% ZnO nanoparticles, and 77.34% ZnO/CuO nanocomposite in respective samples. Morphological analysis was achieved using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). FTIR investigations revealed that the vibrations of CuO and ZnO nanoparticles and CuO/ZnO nanocomposite were observed at 568 cm−1, 617.9 cm−1, and 475 cm−1, respectively. The bandgap of the synthesized CuO and ZnO nanoparticles, and ZnO/CuO nanocomposite was analyzed using Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS), and found to be 3.36 eV, 1.83 eV, and 1.48 eV, respectively. Best photocatalytic activity confirmed that favorable conditions for the maximum degradation of methyl orange are at pH 12 and 0.02 g of the photocatalyst is required.

Biomonitoring is an approach that uses indicators or sentinel species to assess the health or pollution of an environment, combining diversity based on specific taxonomic groups with the taxa's indicator of pollution into a single index or score. Benthic macroinvertebrates are among the most preferred and valuable indicators of the biotic index. Our study aims to evaluate water quality and ecological status using biotic and diversity indices based on benthic macroinvertebrates. The macroinvertebrate samples used in this study were collected seasonally from 16 stations determined in Karasu Stream. These samples consist of 14,747 specimens belonging to 9 orders and 40 families of Insecta, Malacostraca, Hirudinea and Oligochaeta. In addition, some physicochemical parameters were measured at the stations. The data obtained were analysed using the Turkey‐Biological Monitoring Working Group (TR‐BMWP), Average Score per Taxon (ASPT), Family Biotic Index (FBI), Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera (EPT) taxon richness index, and Shannon–Wiener, Simpson and Hill's diversity indices. Our results showed that the last six stations of Karasu Stream were under pressure due to various anthropogenic effects. According to biotic indexes, the ecological quality status of the water in the stations was determined to be high or good in the first 10 stations and average, poor or bad in the last 6 stations. The results of our study showed that TR‐BMWP, FBI and EPT indices are more reliable in determining water quality than the ASPT index and reflect the environmental situation better. Since the TR‐BMWP index is adapted to macroinvertebrate taxa distributed in Türkiye, it can be used as a suitable tool for evaluating other rivers' water quality in Türkiye.
