Abstract

The Economic growth and industrial development of a country is leading to enhanced usage of chemicals and disposal of industrial and agricultural wastes to aquatic environment. This causes eco-toxicological hazards for environment. The ratio between fresh water to saline water in our planet is very low. Furthermore the pollution of fresh water is making the situation more critical. Water pollution needs to be addressed carefully to find out eco-friendly approach to purify the contaminated stream. Functionalized ligno-cellulosic fibre and its’ derivatives can eliminate pollutant using biosorption mechanism, Biochar and activated carbon which is porous and amorphous can be considered as one of the best option to treat waste water. Activated carbon has suitable porosities with enlarged surface area and functional groups which helps them to entrap organic and inorganic pollutants from water. Activated carbon can be produced from low cost lingo-cellulosic waste using different types of thermochemical process to ensure targeted contaminants removal from waste water. The first part of the chapter overviews the recent advances in thermochemical processes; used to produce functionalized lingo-cellulosic fiber, biochar and activated carbon for water treatmentwhich can strengthen sustainable circular economy. The recycling and regeneration strategies with challenges and future prospects of these sorbents are illustrated in the concluding part of the chapter. Thus the ecosystem can be protected by usage of lingo-cellulosic waste in multidimensional direction by purifying the waste water which can aid in solid biomass waste management up to a greater extent.
