  • The gap between water demand and available water supply led to wastewater treatment, particularly greywater. Due to specific characteristics of grey wastewater, treatment and recycling of this type of wastewater capture global attention. This paper presents a literature review of the remediation of greywater by adsorption processes.
  • Why should greywater be treated?
  • It provides the circular economy’s foundation to generate more food, energy, and water while cutting environmental pollution. The treated greywater should comply with four principles: hygienic safety, aesthetics, environmental tolerance, and economic feasibility for reuse (Nolde 2000).
  • How is greywater treated in a shower and washing machine?
