Revolutionizing Water Sustainability: A Comprehensive Exploration of Zero Liquid Discharge Strategies
Main Article Content
Abstract
Sustainable water management practices have become increasingly important in the face of escalating global water scarcity. ZLD is emerging as a promising solution to eliminate liquid discharge from wastewater treatment and purification systems. It highlights the pivotal role ZLD plays in advancing sustainable water management by examining its principles, technologies, and applications. With a comprehensive assessment of ZLD technologies, a nuanced understanding of their diverse tools is provided through membrane processes, evaporation, crystallization, and biological treatment. As well as emphasizing ZLD's adaptability and effectiveness, the review points out successful applications across industries. Water scarcity can be addressed by repurposing wastewater as a resource, thus aligning with circular economy principles and advocating wide adoption of the technology in future water management plans.
