Abstract
Effective integration of the principles of green chemistry into water remediation research and practice has offered promising novel solutions to combat the current global challenges. This chapter reviews both established as well as cutting-edge techniques (advanced green technologies) for sustainable water remediation, including nanotechnology-enabled water treatment processes, biofiltration, bioremediation, cycloelectrowinning, and photocatalysis. To motivate the readers, there is a special emphasis on several award-winning green technologies that highlight the fact that the most effective way to deal with the water pollution is to use the least harmful ways to prohibit contaminants or redesign pathways that would lead to virtually no waste or least waste generation. Additionally, a special subsection has been devoted toward large-scale reactors utilized for real-time contaminant removal/degradation installed at different polluted sites.
