Abstract
The current decade has the primary concern of providing affordable and safe water to meet the requirements of human beings. Adequate wastewater treatment is essential for economic growth in the current era of water and water resources scarcity. Wastewater treatment is gaining more importance in this world full of industries. Among numerous treatment techniques, recent advancement in the field of nanotechnology has gained the interest of scientists. Nanotechnology has immense potential to improve water and wastewater treatment efficiency and augment water supply by safely utilizing unconventional water sources. The unique characteristic of nanomaterials possessing a high surface area can be used effectively to remove toxic metal ions and inorganic and organic solutes from the water. This paper includes a discussion on the utilization of nanotechnology and recent development in the field of nanotechnology for the bioremediation of wastewater treatment. On both small and large scales, nanotechnology has shown a variety of practical techniques for wastewater treatment in a more accurate and precise way.
