Abstract
As available at lowor zero-cost, agricultural and food industry waste biomass has great potential to be used for wastewater treatment. It has been shown that, with minimum of chemical or mechanical pre-treatment, waste biomass has great adsorption capacity for different heavy metals, organic and biological pollutants from both drinking and wastewater. Since biomass is a renewable resource that is generated daily as waste and requires storage, its inclusion in sustainable development and the circular economy would have multiple benefits for society as a whole. The use of waste biomass for wastewater treatment would have a positive environmental, energy and economic impact on a country's welfare, especially developing ones.
