The continuous growth in population and industrial development has prompted wastewater (WW) generation enormous volume with resultant effects on the quality of water sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). generated WW flows into freshwater thereby depleting region as amount treated before discharge environment is < 10%. There have been several studies that focused effect pollution its related issues public health environment. Undeniably, there a substantial capacity for progress management (WWM) numerous benefits to global community faced crisis emanating from rapid growth, poor treatment (WWT), etc. SSA comprises ∼1 billion people ∼25% who are having access drinking water, 30% essential sanitation services. Thus, this study aims offer summary challenges facing region, resource, plants, resource circular economy. This high point presents challenges/effects untreated their associated diseases/illnesses. And environmental economic effective management. A significant examination was made statutory regulations, social acceptability, aspects, solution were all emphasized.

The application of ornamental plants in constructed wetlands (CW) is increasingly interest to researchers, professionals actively involved wetland management and/or wastewater treatment (WWT), so it necessary know the trends this field research. objective study was develop a scientometric on use CWs for WWT during period 2002–2022. For this, search information carried out Scopus database, including all articles and reviews related field. analysis recovered documents allowed key aspects evolution production recent years, maturity research field, identify most used therefore gaps. Likewise, possible countries, relevant authors, main journals cited through which knowledge area disseminated. results showed that Mexico, Brazil, USA, China India have highest number publications CWs. It found are Canna, Iris, Heliconia Zantedeschia. This can help researchers new approaches concluded has aroused great since 2002; however, more still be with cold climates, influence substrate growth these plants.

Abstract Metallurgy is pivotal for societal progress, yet it yields wastewater laden with hazardous compounds. Adhering to stringent environmental mandates, the scientific and industrial sectors are actively researching resilient treatment disposal solutions metallurgical effluents. The primary origins of organic pollutants within sector include processes such as coke quenching, steel rolling, solvent extraction, electroplating. This article provides a detailed analysis strategies treating industry waste in treatment. Recent advancements membrane technologies, adsorption, various other removing from comprehensively reviewed. literature review reveals that advanced oxidation (AOPs) demonstrate superior effectiveness eliminating persistent contaminants. However, major challenges their industrial-scale implementation cost scalability. Additionally, was discovered employing series biological reactors instead single-step enhances command over microbial communities operating variables, thus boosting efficacy mechanism (e.g., achieving chemical oxygen demand (COD) elimination rate 90%). seeks conduct an in-depth examination current state wastewater, particular emphasis on pollutant removal. These exhibit distinct features influenced by technologies workflows unique respective processes, including factors composition, physicochemical properties, concentrations. Therefore, utmost importance customized approaches, which central focus this review. In context, we will explore these methods, highlighting advantages characteristics.

Green approach on wastewater treatment strategies aims to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly methods for treating while also reducing the environmental impact of traditional processes. Hence, objective this paper was undertake a critical review green using standard techniques harvesting data from secondary sources 2015 2023. Information obtained reveals that energy-efficient technologies, such as anaerobic digestion membrane bioreactors, use less energy than technologies. Treating reuse can reduce demand freshwater resources required water treatment. Onsite systems, septic systems composting toilets, amount needs be transported treated at centralized facilities. Incorporating infrastructure, rain gardens permeable pavement, into urban areas help stormwater runoff enters system. Extracting nutrients, nitrogen phosphorus, used fertilizer crops, need synthetic fertilizers. Overall, these aim consumption, chemical usage, processes, promoting efficient resources.

Faced with increasing water scarcity, the potential of greywater reuse stands out, but requires effective treatment to remove organic matter, pathogens, surfactants, and suspended solids. Constructed Wetlands (CW) are sustainable decentralized technologies gaining prominence for this propose. They recognized their low-cost, simplicity, effectiveness in wastewater treatment, producing effluents that meet quality standards reuse. Despite advantages, there is a need deeper understanding factors influence performance efficiency. This review aims fill gap by systematically analyzing current research on CW technology, identifying key variables affect its application improvement. A systematic considering period 2019–2023 was carried out using Methodi Ordinatio, multicriteria decision-making methodology. The search databases were Science direct, Web science Scopus. approach involves structures process selecting scientific articles, resulting bibliographic portfolio recent studies,. initial yielded 291 retrieved titles, through selection, 48 studies chosen in-depth analysis. Existing allowed evaluate ways which systems applied. highlights how applied, substrates type, plants, operational criteria emerged as primary influencing technology's performance. also growing use construction waste biochar substrates, have shown promise enhancing focus "reuse", articles it observed topic scarcely addressed, thus suggesting remains underexplored. provides state-of-the-art synthesis offering valuable insights into specific design choices impact system effectiveness. It serves worthwhile resource efficiency management.

Climate change poses challenges to agricultural water resources, both in terms of quantity and quality. As an adaptation measure, the new European Regulation (EU) 2020/741 establishes different quality classes for use reclaimed irrigation. Italy is also working on definition a regulation reuse irrigation (in substitution current one) that will include specific requirements imposed by one. Nature-based Solutions (NBS) can be cost-effective environmentally friendly way facilitate reclamation reuse. The present study reports outcomes long-term monitoring campaign two NBS (e.g., constructed wetland (CW) lagoon system (LS)) comparing influent effluent concentrations contaminants E. coli, BOD5, TSS, TN TP) with threshold values regulations. results showed case studies, coli (about 100 CFU mL-1) BOD5 (lower than 25 mg L-1) mean concentration need further reduced suitable unlimited negative aspect, monitored NBS, increase TSS was observed, up 40 L-1 LS, making unsuitable CW has proven more effective nitrogen removal (the 3.4 L-1), whereas LS better at phosphorus (with 0.4 L-1). Based results, recommendations were made improve performance systems order have adequate quality, even class A. Furthermore, capacity meet crop nutrient needs analyzed, total rate coefficients calculated design future LSs.
