(b) Constructed treatment wetlands are viewed as the emerging and eco-friendly
treatment solution for TWW but still have certain drawbacks which should be
addressed for full-scale application.
(c) Combinatorial treatment approaches (physical + chemical + biological treatment) are considered as effective in the treatment of TWW and can reduce
pollutant concentration to an acceptable level.
(d) Search for novel microbes with high remediation potential is warranted to
effectively treat and manage TWW.
(e) Electrobioremediation is an innovative hybrid bioremediation technology for
TWW treatment, but some associated challenges need to be addressed.
(f) There is a need to identify the potential bacteria and construct a consortium able
to do anammox in the presence of organic chemicals to effectively treat the
TWW containing both ammonia and organic carbon.
