Abstract
The indent of industrialization and its development has led to an increase in the levels of pollutants that are released into the environment. Most of these pollutants are toxic and highly dangerous, deteriorating the air, water, and land. One such dangerous and highly toxic pollutant is mercury, a heavy metal that can pollute water sources for a long time due to its persistence and bioaccumulation. The toxic effects of mercury have been well documented due to its impact on human health and ecosystem. Though mercury does exist in its natural form in the environment, its toxicity is negligible; due to the release of mercury contaminants from anthropogenic sources, the concentration of mercury toxicity in the environment has increased tremendously. One such anthropogenic source is wastewater, from which mercury gets released into the environment in high amounts. So, this chapter discusses the importance of effective treatment techniques for remediating mercury-contaminated wastewater by physical, biological, and chemical methods. The latest research on adsorption and filtration techniques have been discussed that could prove to be effective alternatives to conventional wastewater treatment practices. Synthesis and mechanisms of various types of biosorbents, nanosorbents, membrane filter techniques, and adsorbents have been described along with their potential future and challenges that need to be overcome to perform as an effective, efficient, and biocompatible wastewater treatment technique.
