The treatment of wastewater effluent that includes toxic organic pollutants such as dyes, phenoaniline, phenols and their derivatives is still a challenge due to their biorecalcitrant and acute toxicity to the widespread acceptance of water recycling [
1,
2]. Despite their low concentration, these contaminants are a major health concern because of their extremely high endocrine disrupting potency and genotoxicity [
3]. In response, considerable efforts have been devoted to effectively remove the persistent organic pollutants from wastewater effluent to minimize the risk of pollution problems from such toxic chemicals and to enable its reuse. Conventional waste water purification systems, such as activated carbon adsorption, membrane filtration, chemical coagulation, ion exchange on synthetic adsorbent resins, etc., also generate wastes during the treatment of contaminated water, which requires additional steps and costs.
