Nano-biotechnology for Waste Water Treatment

Part of the book series: Water Science and Technology Library ((WSTL,volume 111))

Abstract

Over the years, demand of dyes is tremendously increased due to the continuous growth of textile, paper and leather market size. Effluents from these industries are challenging sources of residual dye pollutants into the environmental water. Coloured water deteriorate the water quality, decline dissolved oxygen levels, damage photosynthesis, enter the food chain and may lead to severe health hazards. Treatment and recycling of dyes-polluted water can help in conservation of water and preventing water pollution footprint in environment. There exist a remarkable method known as photocatalysts which may be utilized for achieving various goals such as antifogging, antifouling, production of hydrogen, antibacterial activity, degradation of different kinds of pollutants in wastewater, sterilization, self-cleaning, deodorization, conservation and storage of energy and purification of air. This process is gaining more focus towards wastewater treatment for complete mineralization of the pollutants under mild temperature and pressure requirements. A photocatalyst must have good light UV–Vis light absorption capability for better photocatalytic performance. Recently, a process of dye decolourization with the help of nanocomposites has been turning into a prominent technology in the direction of environmental remediation. Due to the ability to stabilize the excited electron in the conducting band via reduction in rate of hole/electron recombination and decreasing the semiconductor’s band energy, the nanocomposites have gained significant high photocatalytic efficiency over the nanoparticles. Enhanced photocatalytic efficiency can be achieved by synthesizing specific nanocomposites through conducting polymers with metal/metal oxides nanoparticles.
