Nigeria is the highest producer of cassava in the World with concomitant generation of millions of tons of solid and liquid wastes. These wastes are indiscriminately disposed into the environment causing degradation with attendant serious health hazards to both flora and fauna. There is need, therefore, to properly manage these wastes for sustainable environment. In this review, research efforts focusing on effective management of cassava solid and liquid wastes are highlighted. Laboratory-scale successes so far recorded in the application of cassava peels as adsorbent for the treatment of various grade of industrial wastewater as well as its potential use as animal supplement are analyzed. Studies showing the potentials of cassava peels and wastewater in the production of biofuels, bio-electricity via the microbial fuel cell (MFC) and value added bio-based chemical by-products are enumerated. Current research works on the viability of the dual role of cassava wastewater based microalgae cultivation; the shortcomings and suggestion for improvement of the technology are equally reviewed. However, to maximize these research findings for environmental sustainability, it is suggested that the Nigerian government and relevant stakeholders should invest more on research and development (R&D) in the area of cassava waste management and encourage investors to venture into the sector |
