Bamboo comes under the category of rapidly shooting up plants. It has a fast-growing rate. Bamboo and its parts are well-known for their multiple industrial uses, but a few decades of research have recognized their importance in various fields of science. The main aim of our study is on bamboo leaves due to their readily availabilty with the cost-effectiveness and act as sustainable feedstock in the pharmaceutical, food, and agriculture sectors. Furthermore, bamboo leaves have inherent potential sources like phytochemicals, polyphenols, nano-particles, etc. These bioactive components from the bamboo leaves play several roles as anti-oxidants, anti-carcinogens, anti-angiogenesis, anti-diabetic, anti-microbial, etc., in various scientific fields. Various bamboo species like Phyllostachys nigra var. henonis, Phyllostachys aurea, Bambusa arundinaceae, Dendrocalamus strictus(Roxb.), Phyllostachys edulis, Phyllostachys heterocycla cv. Pubescens, Phyllostachys pubescens. Gramineae etc. have been successfully used as a source for Tricin, silver nanoparticles etc. Therefore, bamboo leaves exhibit different combinations of characters. Although attention to studying bamboo leaves has increased, synergistic research is still limited. This shows that bamboo leaves and their beneficial properties can be enhanced for more innovative discoveries in the future. This paper gives an overview of the importance of bamboo leaves in the pharmaceutical, food, and agriculture sectors. Highlights Bamboo is regarded as a potential bioresource and has many bioactive components. The bioactive components such as anti-oxidants, anti-carcinogens, anti-angiogenesis, anti-diabetic, anti-microbial, etc. can be utilized effectively from bamboo leaves Bamboo leaves exhibit different combinations of characteristics and can be utilized in pharmaceutical, food, and agriculture sectors.

The application of microorganism for the removal of pollutants from environment provide cheaper substitutes to the traditional treatment methods. The selection of easily culturable and effective microorganism that could do the treatment is a major challenge. Microalgae present a viable, eco-friendly and economical agent of wastewater treatment and production of value-added substances such as biofuel, carotenoids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, pharmaceuticals and dyeing agents. In this article, we reviewed and presented the use of microalgae for the removal of several kinds of pollutants, the mechanisms employed for the degradation and their diversity in wastewater. The removal of pollutants such as nitrogen, phosphate, heavy metal, chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand and dye by different strains as well as the mechanism involved were identified and discussed. Cultivation of microalgae in the large-scale void of bloom, mechanism of stress tolerance and the potential value-added substances to be produced while decontaminating the environment concomitantly were also highlighted. The article also highlighted the fate of organic pollutants in the application of microalgae biomass. This review demonstrated the use of microalgae for wastewater treatment to be a win-win strategy that has dual role of pollutants removal and multiple product formations. Such benefits can be enhancing via integrating multiple methods of treatments and microalgae engineering.

The recovery and effective treatment of ammonia nitrogen and phenols were issues that cannot be ignored for realizing the harmless treatment of CCW and the sustainable development of the coal chemical industry. This review summarized the current research status of phenols and ammonia nitrogen removal at home and abroad from three aspects: the recovery technology of phenols and ammonia nitrogen, the biochemical treatment technology of phenols and ammonia nitrogen, and the advanced treatment technology of phenols and ammonia nitrogen; Furthermore, the various technologies in terms of their advantages, disadvantages and practical application were analysed. Finally, in view of the concepts of energy saving, high efficiency, and sustainable health, the prospects of phenols and ammonia nitrogen recovery and treatment in future were discussed. The purpose of this review was to allow researchers in this field to use a more scientific approach to understand the research status and development trend of phenols and ammonia nitrogen in CCW and provide a reliable theoretical basis for the new exploration of phenol-ammonia recovery and treatment. It would be of great significance to promote the sustainable development of the coal chemical industry.
