    Abstract Given the challenges of urbanization and rapid resource depletion, policymakers have been compelled to abandon the old sequential paradigm of "take-make-use-dispose" to a circular approach that prioritizes preservation of natural resources. The circular economy represents a sustainable management concept that focuses on reducing, recovering, reusing, and recycling waste. While significant strides have been made in implementing circular economy principles in various industries such as automotive, electronics, and construction, particular attention has been given to the water and wastewater domains due to imbalances in water resources. Here we review the global progress of circular economy adoptability in the water and wastewater domains, considering technical, environmental, economic, and social perspectives. It assesses the current state of circular economy integration in the wastewater domain worldwide and presents approaches to promote and accelerate its adoption. The study critically examines the principles of waste management, known as the 6Rs (reclaim, restore, recycle, reduce, recover, reuse), in order to formulate effective strategies for integrating circular economy practices in the water and wastewater domains. Additionally, the study provides an overview of existing research conducted on different aspects of circular economy. Finally, the study analyzes the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing circular economy principles in the water sector.

    Abstract The need for sustainable technological solutions for wastewater management at different scales has led to the emergence of several promising integrated bioelectrochemical technologies in the past decade. A thorough assessment of these technologies is imperative to understand their practical implementation feasibility and to identify the key challenges to prioritise the research and development work. Our multicriteria-based assessment reveals that the integrated technologies are efficient for wastewater treatment in terms of normalised land footprint [(0.31-1.39 m

    Abstract Solvent-free algal cell lysis using fungal enzyme for enhanced lipid recovery diminishes per unit production cost of algal biodiesel. In this investigation, a triple chamber photosynthetic microbial fuel cell (PMFC) was fabricated, where positive potential was imposed in the extraction chamber to draw the negatively charged lipid ions from the cathodic chamber. Under optimum imposed potential of + 3.0 V (vs standard hydrogen electrode) and with 3.5% (v/v) dosage of fungal enzyme in to the algal consortium of cathodic chamber, a maximum of 79.0% of lipid was recovered. Additionally, enzyme-assisted de-oiled algal biomass was applied in the anodic chamber to function as substrate and mediator for exo-electrogens, and the maximum power density of 10.0 W/m

    Abstract Discharge of emerging contaminants such as parabens in natural water bodies is a grievous concern. Among parabens, methylparaben (MP) is most prevalent due to its extensive usage in personal care and food products and has been purported to trigger hormonal-related diseases. In this regard, the bio-electro-Fenton (BEF) process garners attention for remediating refractory compounds because of its ability to generate in situ hydroxyl radicals (•OH) utilising the energy harvested from electroactive microorganisms. In the present investigation, a Ni-Fe-driven heterogenous BEF system (BEF-MFC) was used to degrade MP from different matrices. At neutral catholyte pH, 99.54 ± 0.22% of MP was removed from an initial concentration of 10 mg/L in 240 min of retention time with an estimated treatment cost of about 1.01 $/m

    Abstract Cytotoxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic contaminants, such as heavy metals and radionuclides, have become an alarming environmental concern globally, especially for developed and developing nations. Moreover, inefficient prevalent wastewater treatment technologies combined with increased industrial activity and modernization has led to increase in the concentration of toxic metals and radioactive components in the natural water bodies. However, for the improvement of ecosystem of rivers, lakes, and other water sources different physicochemical methods such as membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, activated carbon adsorption, electrocoagulation, and other electrochemical treatment are employed, which are uneconomical and insufficient for the complete abatement of these emerging pollutants. Therefore, the application of bioremediation employing aquatic macrophytes and microphytes have gained considerable importance owing to the benefits of cost-effectiveness, eco-friendly, and higher energy efficiency. Thus, the present review aims to enlighten the readers on the potential application of algae, cyanobacteria, plant, and other aquatic micro- and macrophytes for the elimination of carcinogenic metals and radioactive isotopes from wastewater. Additionally, the use of transgenic plants, genetically modified species, algal-bacterial symbiosis for the enhancement of removal efficiency of mutagenic contaminants are also highlighted. Furthermore, species selection based on robustness, mechanism of different pathways for heavy metal and radionuclide detoxification are elucidated in this review article.

    Abstract Microbial electrochemical technologies (METs) are a set of inventive tools that generate value-added by-products with concomitant wastewater remediation. However, due to the bottlenecks, like higher fabrication cost and inferior yield of resources, these inventive METs are still devoid of successful field-scale implementation. In this regard, application of quorum sensing (QS) mechanism to improve the power generation of the METs has gained adequate attention. The QS is an intercellular signalling mechanism that controls the bacterial social network in its vicinity via the synthesis of diffusible signal molecules labelled as auto inducers, thus ameliorating yield of valuables produced through METs. This state-of-the-art review elucidates different types of QS molecules and their working mechanism with the special focus on the widespread application of QS in the field of METs for their performance enhancement. Thus, this review intends to guide the researchers in rendering scalability to METs by integrating innovative QS mechanisms into them.

    Abstract Globally million hectares of land annually is getting contaminated by heavy metalloids like As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb, Co, Cu, Ni, Zn, and Se, with current concentrations in soil above geo-baseline or regulatory standards. The heavy metals are highly toxic, mobile, and persistent and hence require immediate and effective mitigation. There are many available remediation techniques like surface capping, encapsulation, landfilling, soil flushing, soil washing, electrokinetic extraction, stabilization, solidification, vitrification, phytoremediation, and bioremediation which have been evolved to clean up heavy metal-contaminated sites. Nevertheless, all of the technologies have some applicability and limitations making the soil remediation initiative unsustainable. Among the available technologies, electrokinetic remediation (EKR) has been comparatively recognized to mitigate contaminated sites via both in-situ and ex-situ approaches due to its efficiency, suitability for use in low permeability soil, and requirement of low potential gradient. The work critically analyzes the EKR concerning techno, economic, and sustainability aspect for evaluating its application on various substrates and environmental conditions. The current soil contamination status in India is presented and the application of EKR for the heavy metal remediation from soil has been evaluated. The present work summaries a comprehensive and exhaustive review on EKR technology proving its effectiveness for a country like India where the huge amount of waste generated could not be treated due to lack of infrastructure, technology, and economic constraints.
