Providing clean and affordable water to meet human needs is one of the great challenges of the 21st century. Egypt has reached a state where the quantity of water available is imposing limits on its national economic development. Water quality is adding additional stress with 4.5 million tons of untreated or partially treated industrial pollutants estimated to enter the water supply annually. There has been an increasing focus on the application of sustainable biomaterials as an alternative to chemical-based wastewater treatment; i.e., reducing environmental impact, and provide safe water in the developing world. Modified biomaterials have great potential in water purification. Chemically modified chitosan and cellulose, and cellulose-green algae composite have b... view moreĀ»
