Abstract

The deliberate discharge of wastewater into environment poses serious ecological issues. Several conventional technologies such as coagulation, flocculation, ion exchange, etc., are used for the treatment of wastewater produced from various commercial units. The use of solar energy in the treatment of wastewater receives much attention now-a-days since it is eco-friendly and renewable in nature. The availability of solar energy is continuous. The UV light of solar energy helps to kill disease causing pathogens and degrade various kinds of pollutants in wastewater.
