Emerging environmentally friendly bio-based nanocomposites for the efficient removal of dyes and micropollutants from wastewater by adsorption: a comprehensive review

Abstract

Water scarcity will worsen due to population growth, urbanization, and climate change.

A review of recent trends in the removal of emerging contaminants from wastewater using green adsorbents

“…Improper wastewater management has serious environmental and health consequences: water pollution, proliferation of water-borne diseases and devastation of ecosystems [1][2][3][4]. The ingestion of contaminated water can precipitate critical health problems, disrupting the natural food web [5,6].…”

“…The ingestion of contaminated water can precipitate critical health problems, disrupting the natural food web [5,6]. The discharge of untreated wastewater into ecosystems presents significant health hazards, underscoring the imperative for effective wastewater treatment strategies to mitigate these detrimental impacts [1,[7][8][9]. Among the plethora of wastewater treatment methodologies, adsorption stands out for its economic efficiency, straightforward design, minimal carbon footprint, and environmental sustainability [10].…”

Review—Recent Advancements in Perovskites Solar Cell Materials and the Investigation of Transition Metal Oxide-Based Nanocomposites for Usage in Perovskites Solar Cells

“…Renewable energy sources currently satisfy a global energy demand of less than 20%. 10,11 Various factors, such as government policies, public awareness, industrial expansion, investments, and demand, collectively contribute to the accelerated phenomenon of the development and growth of alternative energy sources. Numerous countries, encompassing both advanced and emerging economies, are currently engaged in endeavours to augment renewable energy generation.…”
