In modern times, wastewater treatment is vital due to increased water contamination arising from pollutants such as nutrients, pathogens, heavy metals, and pharmaceutical residues. Polysaccharides (PSAs) are natural, renewable, non-toxic biopolymers used in the field of gas separation, liquid filtration, adsorption processes, pervaporation, proton exchange membranes. Since addition nanoparticles PSAs improves their sustainability strength, nanocomposite has gained significant attention for past decade. This review presents a comprehensive analysis PSA-based nanocomposites efficient treatment, focusing on adsorption, photocatalysis, membrane-based methods. It also discusses potential future applications, challenges, opportunities photocatalysis. Recently, have shown promise adsorbents biological-based systems, effectively removing metals that could hinder microbial activity. Cellulose-mediated successfully removed various wastewater, including dyes, oil, organic solvents, pesticides, Thus, PSA would support biological processes plants. A major concern discharge antibiotic wastes industries, posing environmental health risks. PSA-mediated bio-adsorbents, like clay polymeric hydrogel beads, efficiently remove antibiotics ensuring quality ecosystem balance. The successful use bio-adsorbents depends ongoing research optimize application evaluate impacts. Implementing these eco-friendly large scale holds great significantly reducing pollution, safeguarding ecosystems, protecting human health.

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance, cornerstone of environmental health for thriving biodiversity and undisturbed natural processes. This balance is the sustainability ecosystems, directly influencing human health, biodiversity, overall quality our environment. WWTPs contribute to this equilibrium by efficiently removing pollutants harmful substances from wastewater, thus averting degradation water bodies that are essential numerous encompass multiple stages wastewater sludge treatment significant energy consumers globally, especially secondary treatment, particularly activated method which most common method. With an upcoming directive European Union aiming reduce consumption WWTPs, paper focuses on literature review examining global practices implemented across all WWTP It summarizes key points each study, focusing primarily outcomes application. document concludes with in-depth study provides general conclusions group studies. The objective identify methods have effectively reduced enhanced efficiency WWTPs. main indicate studies wide range applications achieve reductions consumption. However, additional testing these more diverse operating environments through trials could further enhance their reliability increase acceptance among operators.

This study examines the spatial and temporal impacts of U.S. clean energy grid transition on related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from wastewater treatment industry. By analyzing data 17,156 water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) state-specific decarbonization scenarios, results project a 60% reduction in Scope 2 by 2050, driven national shift to renewable energy. However, regional disparities are prominent, with northeastern western states achieving most significant reductions, while Ohio Valley Rockies likely experience higher due reliance fossil fuels. offers first assessment WRRFs highlights need for targeted, region-specific strategies across different emission scopes. research provides insights policymakers stakeholders sector, emphasizing critical role GHG goals.

Abstract Water treatment has experienced a surge in the adoption of membrane separation technology. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), class metal‐free and open‐framework materials, have emerged as potential materials owing to their interconnected periodic porosity, tunability, chemical stability. However, challenges associated with processing COF powders into self‐standing membranes spurred emergence composite membranes. This review article highlights rationale behind developing categories, including mixed matrix (MMMs) thin film (TFC) The common fabrication techniques each category are presented. In addition, influence additives on performance resultant is systematically discussed, focus recent progress applying different categories water pollutants, ions/molecules, toxic solvents, proteins, heavy metals, radionuclides.
