ABSTRACT
Several industries produce vast amounts of wastewater which they need to dispose of somehow. However, they face increasing challenges for doing this, as such wastewater contains a wide range of complex harmful chemical compounds, which are regulated by strict environmental legislation. Such industries are therefore compelled to use a variety of treatment methods to convert these effluents into high-quality reusable water (Carstea et al., 2016). The pressure on such industries to do better than before is greater nowadays, as many countries have a zero-discharge policy and water prices for industrial use are continuously on the rise.
