Abstract
Rapid industrial development and discharge of effluents into rivers has polluted water with heavy metals and other toxic matter. Most of the conventional techniques for waste water treatment are known to cause harmful impact on environment by releasing hazardous components. Some industries use bioremediation to remove heavy metals which is eco-friendly but ineffective where the environment itself is toxic to microorganisms due to presence of chemicals and non-biodegradable metals. Advanced nanotechnology such as nano-adsorption and nanomembrane, is an emerging field to treat effluents with high efficiency though it’s not cost effective and eco-friendly. The solution to these problems can be integrating bioremediation with nanotechnology. In this chapter, the structure and characteristics of nanomaterials are discussed. Additionally, the chapter also highlights the integration of microbiology and nanotechnology in two ways: Firstly, in green synthesis of nanoparticles which is less expensive and sustainable and secondly, coating nanoparticles in microbes for effective remediation.
