Feasibility of treated wastewater on crops irrigation and its quality improvement through environmentally sustainable treatments

This work evaluated the impact of TWW in comparison with groundwater on strawberry and olive quality and safety, particularly for soil, plants and fruits. A comprehensive strategy was adopted to in order to remove organic and inorganic pollutants such as dyes, ethoxylated alkylphenols and heavy metals that could be exist in treated wastewater and to overcome the sludge management problems, carbonaceous material were produced from sawdust and mixtures of sewage sludge to be used as sorbent as an economically advantageous alternative for WW treatment.
