REMOVAL OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC CONTAMINANTS FROMWATER BY CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES - AREVIEWNikita Singh1, Nimisha Keshan and Taranpreet Kaur, Rajeev Kumar and Shagufta JabinAbstract Water is an essential component for survival of living beings globally. Water is being polluted day by dayby anthropogenic sources. Rapid industrialization and urbanization play key roles for polluting the water.A lot of soluble and insoluble materials act as contaminants or pollutants for making water not usable.Inorganic materials such as heavy metals, ions and organic materials such as phenol and phenolic compoundsare heavily released by the industry in the water. WHO and EPA recommended some values for thesecontaminants in water. Above the value of these contaminants from the recommended values may causeharmful effects for human beings as well as other living organisms. The aim of this study is to identify thesources of various types of inorganic and organic contaminants and their removal techniques from thewater. |
