Abstract
Eutrophication is caused by excessive nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, in aquatic habitats. The increasing interest in nutrient recovery and color removal, particularly from wastewater, is driven by the promising prospects for enhancing both environmental and economic benefits. Adsorption, coagulation, biodegradation, advanced oxidation processes, membrane technology, and other conventional methods are commonly employed for the treatment of organic wastewater and will be covered in this book. A sustainable approach to wastewater treatment that transforms wastewater into a resource by utilizing green engineering concepts has also been discussed.
