Process Intensification (PI) is the modification or integration of conventional or novel processes within a single unit operation in order to improve product quality and reduce waste. PI offers numerous advantages, including a reduction in the initial and operational costs, an improvement in product quality/quantity, the generation of less waste, and an increase in process safety. The synergistic effect of PI in comparison to the conventional procedure ensures maximizing resource efficiency. PI can be accomplished in two ways: either by integrating various processes or by modifying the design of equipment to improve operational efficiency. In this regard, the present review provides a comprehensive insight into the application of PI in wastewater and sludge treatment methods and discusses the operational advantages. This review provides a comprehensive list of different PI approaches applied in wastewater and sludge treatment to remove pollutants and the various equipment, techniques and reactors used in PI. The second section addresses the challenges of PI in wastewater treatment that removes dyes, pesticides, organic and inorganic pollutants, micro- and nano-plastics, persistent organic pollutants, pharmaceutical and personal care pollutants.
过程强化（PI）是指在单一单元操作中对常规或新型过程进行修改或集成，以提高产品质量并减少废物。PI 具有许多优点，包括降低初始和运营成本、提高产品质量/数量、减少废物产生以及提高过程安全性。与传统工艺相比，PI 的协同效应可确保最大程度地提高资源效率。PI 可以通过两种方式实现：集成各种工艺或改进设备设计以提高运行效率。在这方面，本综述全面介绍了 PI 在废水和污泥处理方法中的应用，并讨论了其操作优势。本综述提供了一个全面的清单，列出了不同的 PI 方法在废水和污泥处理中应用以去除污染物以及在 PI 中使用的各种设备、技术和反应器。第二节讨论了 PI 在去除染料、农药、有机和无机污染物、微塑料和纳米塑料、持久性有机污染物、制药和个人护理污染物的废水处理中的挑战。
