Remediation of Toxic Contaminants in Water Using Agricultural Waste
The rapid urbanization gives rise to increased amounts of heavy metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), aliphatic and aromatic and various organic dyes in environment due to discharge or runoff of various waste effluents into water sources. These contaminants are highly toxic, non‐biodegradable, suffer bioenrichment, and lead to potent health issues through the food chain. Hence, these are considered as macro pollutants which cause an elevated decrease in the water levels. Additionally, water scarcity is an utmost crucial issue for the sustainable development of country. Various researchers are engaged in fabricating and adapting new strategies to remove various contaminants from water. However, they suffer drawbacks in terms of availability of precursors, sample collection, cost, and different protocols to optimise a given approach. Here, a recent innovation in water remediation procedures involves use of agricultural waste materials to treat contagious water samples to obtain clean and pure water. In this direction various agricultural wastes have been exploited to remediate different wastewater samples and have found to show effective results. Furthermore, agricultural waste materials such as bagasse, barley, banana peel, coir, potato peel, rice husk, wheat husk, and many others are used as bio‐adsorbents and can be considered as mutualism approach where both agricultural waste and wastewater benefit each other.
