Wastewater Treatment Methods

Appropriate management of wastewater is greatly needed for the maintenance of a healthy environment and the preservation of public health. Several methods of wastewater treatment for the reduction of pollutant content to a minimal level, necessary for their discharge into natural water reservoirs, have been identified and developed. This paper makes a comparative analysis of physical-chemical methods and biological methods of wastewater treatment. Based on the analysis, it has been revealed that biological methods are effective compared to traditional methods in purifying organic matter and possess high sustainability benefits.
