Abstract

Nanotechnology is a futuristic branch that has a promising future. Nowadays, it is being used to eliminate pollution by accelerating the conventional ways. One such process is the bioremediation of pollutants in the environment. Nanoparticles are more flexible as they can be coated with catalytic ligands, providing maximum effective surface area by alteration in size, having good adsorbing properties and the ability to be coupled with microbes to accelerate the remediation process of various type of pollutants. Nanoparticles can be used in in situ or ex situ bioremediation of environmental contaminants such as heavy metals. Apart from combating pollutants, it is important to sense their presence, treat and remove them. Hence, with a few modifications, they can be transformed into a useful nano-sensor, having the ability to detect the pollutants and eliminate them.
