Industrial waste - an alternative materials for sustainable water and wastewater treatment

The worldwide waste generation by 2050 will increase up to 3.4 billion metric tons as the result of population and economic growth, urbanization, as well as consumer shopping demands and habits and this a major worldwide issue still waiting for right and efficient solutions. Industrial waste presents the group of waste materials which has been produced during the various industrial processes and due to the scientist’s estimations, a total worldwide generation of industrial waste per capita is about 1.74 tons per year. A special fast-growing trend of industrial waste is noted in developing countries. Industrial waste can be generally divided as nonhazardous and hazardous, and recyclable and non-recyclable waste. Significant percentage of nonhazardous industrial generated waste can be used as alternative materials for production of adsorbents and chemicals that can be efficiently applied in water and wastewater treatments. The aim of this study is to present the possibility of industrial waste reuse, especially in the purpose of water and wastewater treatment processes.
