The Potentiality of Reuse Industrial Waste for Diverse Water Treatment -An Overview
Summary
This overview reviews innovative adsorbent materials made from industrial waste that can remove diverse pollutants from wastewater at low cost. While not focused on microplastics specifically, it is relevant to the broader challenge of plastic and chemical pollution remediation in water systems.
The proliferation of different pollutants in waters caused by anthropogenic and industrial activities has become a significant global concern, as they cause many problems, like severe health and environmental harm. Searching for green materials for water removal entirely and efficiently in this context is challenging. In this sense, innovative materials based on industrial waste become an incredible alternative, as they are waste, disposable incorrect in the environment, low-cost, and need to be adequately discharged. Many innovative materials based on industrial waste were performed in the literature, as these eco-friendly alternatives have great potential for many applications, including wastewater treatment. This overview presents various research that demonstrated different innovative materials based on industrial waste, their physicochemical properties, different properties, the adsorption removal, and other wastewater treatment reported based on different models. Based on the literature, we have also demonstrated that innovative materials based on industrial waste exhibit an incredible potential for the adsorption of various pollutants in water, indicating their promising solution of low-cost adsorption removal for wastewater treatment. Finally, this overview shows that these sustainable materials present significant potential for use in wastewater treatment.

Engineered biochar for simultaneous removal of heavy metals and organic pollutants from wastewater: mechanisms, efficiency, and applications
Despite its title referencing wastewater treatment and biochar, this review paper focuses on using chemically modified charcoal (engineered biochar) to simultaneously remove heavy metals and organic chemical pollutants from water — not microplastic pollution. It examines adsorption mechanisms and remediation performance for metal and organic contaminants, and is not specifically relevant to microplastics or human health impacts of plastic pollution.
