This study focuses on the removal of contaminants in multi-component systems, emphasizing the importance of simultaneous removal of multiple pollutants. It provides valuable insights for researchers in the field of wastewater treatment.
The rapid growth of population and industrialization results in pollution of freshwater sources which leads to the water stress conditions on the world in future. Adsorption is a low cost and popular technique for the removal of contaminants from water bodies. Most of the reports till date are on removal of a single component from aqueous solutions using this technique, but the real-world effluent contains multiple contaminants such as dyes, heavy metals, pesticides, antibiotics and many more. Therefore, a study on simultaneous removal of contaminants is highly needed to obtain a suitable adsorbent that can be used commercially. This critical review provides a de-tailed study on the removal of contaminants in the presence of other contaminant/s i.e., from a multi -component system (MCS). The different possible interaction mechanisms in MCS like synergism, antagonism and non-interaction are discussed. The MCS containing the mixture of conventional contaminants such as heavy metals and dyes, and other emerging contaminants such as antibiotics, organic contaminants, pesticides and personal care products are explained in depth. This review article will be helpful for researchers working in the field of simultaneous removal of contaminants from MCSs for wastewater remediation. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
