The ever-increasing generation of sewage sludge in megacities places a substantial burden on waste treatment systems. The complex and resilient structure of sludge renders
The solar Energy faces the drawback to treat wastewater only during day time, whereas wastewater treatment plants are underperformed during night. Need for energy storage systems increases the overall cost of the WWT plant.
Recent trends on wastewater treatment using solar energy were reviewed. Solar photocatalysis methods of wastewater treatment was studied and analysed. Advanced oxidation methods using solar energy are found to be effective. Technical limitations and environmental benefits are discussed.
Their do exist very few medium scale solar photocatalytic wastewater treatment plants which are environment friendly compared to the existing conventional systems. Treatment of wastewater using solar energy reduces the use of conventional power there by reduces emission of GHG.
Treatment of wastewater requires high electric power for sewage treatment and power consumption results in GHG emission. The study conducted by (Guernanou, 2019) evaluated an energy consumption of 0.6 kWh/m 3 which emitted 185.61 g of equivalent CO 2 /kWh for wastewater treatment.
