Water is a source of life and regarded as the most essential of natural resources. Existing freshwater resources are gradually becoming polluted and unavailable due to human or industrial activities. The increasing contamination of freshwater systems with thousands of industrial and natural chemical compounds is one of the key environmental problems facing humanity worldwide. A growing number of contaminants are entering water supplies from industrialization and human activity like heavy metals, dyes; pharmaceuticals; pesticides, fluoride, phenols, insecticides, pesticides and detergents. In view of the aforesaid problems, recent attention has been focused on the development of more effective, lower-cost, robust methods for wastewater treatment, without further stressing the environment or endangering human health by the treatment itself.
