“…Currently, several methods are used for the treatment of wastewater effluents. Among these includes precipitation with coagulation and flocculation, ion exchange (Eltayeb & Khan, 2019;Khan et al, 2019;Khan, Khan, Asiri, & Sirajuddin, 2018;Khan, Khan, Rahman, & Asiri, 2016;Rangreez, Inamuddin, Mu, & Ali, 2015;Khan et al, 2014, 2013, Khan and khan, 2010Khan Ali, Habiba, & Khan, 2009), complexation of dry biomass, filtration and adsorption (Çalımlı et al, 2019, Demirbaş et al 2019aand Demirbaş et al 2019bMetcalf and Eddy, 2003). But, some of these methods such as precipitation and ion exchange have significant drawbacks which are associated with their high costs, less efficiency, requiring large amounts of reagent and solvent and generation of toxic sludge.…”
