Abstract
Wastewater treatment is essential for ensuring clean water availability, preventing environmental pollution, and protecting human health. Chemical engineering has played a pivotal role in developing and optimizing wastewater treatment technologies to meet the growing demand for clean water and the need for sustainable wastewater management. This article reviews the recent advancements in chemical engineering for wastewater treatment, focusing on innovative methods such as advanced oxidation processes, membrane filtration, and bioremediation. The paper also discusses challenges in large-scale implementation, energy consumption, and the integration of renewable energy sources in wastewater treatment systems, as well as future opportunities for improvement.
