Definition
The search for “green materials” is fueled by a desire to protect the environment. Wastewater treatment and remediation is a highly discussed field because of advancements in biorefineries and bioprocessing technology. Their building blocks may now be derived from a variety of green technology approaches. Novel biological applications with significant added value and improved characteristics and functions have been created for use in a variety of industries. The true benefits and concerns of such innovative biobased solutions, on the other hand, have heightened scientific and public awareness.
Introduction
The demand for pure drinkable water is rising day by day as water contamination has become severe due to human economic growth all over the world. By seeing the recent statistics, since the 1950s, the worldwide population has doubled to the current 7.8 billion people with an estimated...
