Treatment of Water Using Natural Fibres

The environment’s top priority is wastewater treatment. Wastewater is treated using a variety of techniques. Membrane separation, chemical precipitation, disinfection, coagulation, ion exchange, adsorption, solvent extraction, electrolysis and chemical oxidation are the techniques we can use to obtain water that is free of contaminants [1]. In addition to the prices and hard currency, there are other factors that affect how much it will cost to receive the desired level of therapy. Numerous chemicals are also linked to issues with human health and the environment. If they are readily available locally, natural materials can greatly lower the cost of treatment while minimising or avoiding the issues. Utilising natural materials lessens the demand for new resources for their processing. Pine needles, pine cones, straw, reed, M. oleifera, Strychnos potatorum and Moringa seeds [2] are examples of natural fibres that can be utilised for the treatment. Utilising natural resources will contribute to lessening chemical usage as well as sustainable growth.
