Abstract

 Environmental protection has become one of the most pressing global challenges of the 21st century. With rapid population growth, industrial development, and urbanization, the volume of wastewater generated has increased dramatically, posing serious threats to water ecosystems and human health. This research investigates the application of biochemical methods for wastewater treatment as sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional mechanical and chemical treatment processes. The study analyzes various biochemical treatment technologies including activated sludge systems, membrane bioreactors (MBR), and anaerobic digesters.
