The rapid contamination and drastic decrease of clean water sources have heeded the human society for the development and implementation of highly efficient wastewater treatment technologies. Coal fly ash (CFA) can be used as multifunctional material. CFA is an anthropogenic material and its disposal on open land or dumping underground causes serious environmental issues. Instead of disposal, its utilization is advantageous. Therefore, the utilization of CFA and/or its composites in wastewater treatment has been discussed.
