Abstract

Water critically influences the standard of society living and affects the availability of equal development opportunities. It is hence important to secure safe and clean water supplies for all societies and this requires planned sustainable management of water and wastewater. Bioremediation approaches have recently emerged as one effective low-cost alternative compared to other conventional remediation technologies. Nanotechnology is a potentially good approach for developing the next generation of this field. Nano-bioremediation is the new concept that integrates the use of nanoparticles for sustainable remediation of environmental pollutants. Metallic nanoparticles have almost specific characteristics such as their very small size and large surface-to-volume ratio. Metal nanoparticles possess large surface energy and so have the ability to adsorb small molecules. Iron oxide nanoparticles have extensive applications throughout contemporary science and technological innovation. Ag-nanoparticles have successfully been applied in water and wastewater disinfection. Bimetallic nanoparticles which have core–shell morphology provide some more enhanced properties if compared with their monometallic. There is a new approach is suggested to benefit from the bimetallic nanoparticles, as nano-adsorbents. It is developed by the generation of granular particles with mastered dimensions by the encapsulation of nano-adsorbents in sodium alginate (SA) beads.
