The number of restaurants is increasing day by day in almost all the developing countries, causing the increase in the generation of restaurant wastewaters. Various activities (i.e., cleaning, washing, and cooking) going on in the restaurant kitchen lead to restaurant wastewater (RWW). RWW has high concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD), bi...

Energy is an absolute entity required to run all the systems in the world. Our excessive reliance on fossil fuels has led to the diminishing of their reserves and serious concern for energy security and sustainability. Moreover, the overconsumption and disproportionate use of fossil fuels is also creating serious risk for the environment, due to th...

Growth in industrial production, urbanization, overexploitation of resources and inadequate waste management, has led to the emergence of many environmental issues. Among these, the generation of wastewaters from various sources causing pollution has been the most afflicting one. With the changing habits of people, the preference is shifting toward...

The changing lifestyle, urbanization, and depletion of non-renewable resources to match the ever-increasing energy demand are causing a pessimistic impact on the environment. The cities are responsible for 75% of carbon emissions and about 60-80% of the energy consumption globally, causing a precarious situation because they only constitute 3% of t...

The reduction of carbon dioxide concentration in the air (CO2) is one of the most important areas for the mitigation of climate change that is being focused on by various studies. The cultivation of microalgae is a tool that can be applied to remove CO 2 from atmosphere as they absorb light and CO2 and produce molecular oxygen during their cultivat...

Rapid population growth, urbanization, economic progress, and changing lifestyles all contributed to an increase in resource consumption and waste generation. Global solid waste generation was about 1.3 BT/year and was predicted to further increase to a tremendous amount of 2.2 BT/year by 2030. Municipal solid waste generation is increasing at a hi...

As the world’s population is increasing at an unprecedented rate, causing a severe impact on the limited and depleting petroleum reserves by their overexploitation and consumption. It is estimated that due to increasing socioeconomic and infrastructural advancements, we have already consumed about 50% of the petroleum reserves. Furthermore, the...

Solid waste management is a vital area that needs to be addressed as it leads to a sustainable environment and welfare of the public. Unfortunately, in developing nations, improper solid waste management leads to the pollution of the environment and this affects people’s health. The challenges and the improvement measures for solid waste vary for e...

Recently the world is witnessing substantial strides in increasing global food production yet it is unmatched with the drastic rise in population and it will be a challenge to feed 9.8 billion people by 2050, thereby aggravating the need of food security. Food security can be defined as "the ability to access sufficient, safe, nutritious food to su...

Improper Solid Waste Management leads to the generation of landfill leachate at the landfills. To reduce the negative impacts of highly toxic and recalcitrant leachate on the environment, several techniques have been used. A lot of research is conducted to find suitable methods for the treatment of landfill leachate such as biological processes, ch...
