Abstract
Micropollutants also called as contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) are discharged into the environment from a diverse range of sources. Removal of micropollutants from the contaminated wastewater is required to avoid its hazardous effects on human health and the environment. For micropollutant degradation or removal, a variety of biological and physicochemical processes have been employed by scientists and enviornmental engineers. In the first part of the chapter conventional and advanced biological methods for micropollutant removal have thoroughly been analyzed whereas in the later part the utility of different physicochemical techniques is highlighted. This chapter not only briefs about the operational details about the processes but removal efficiency of different processes against different micropollutant is also discussed in great detail. The chapter also summarizes some of the important studies where the biological, physical, and chemical processes are used as a treatment strategy.
