Abstract
Biofilm technology has become a key technique for treating wastewater by utilizing the microbial communities' inherent activities to improve the removal of pollutants. An extensive review of biofilm processes is given in this chapter, along with information on their historical background and current uses in wastewater treatment. Biofilms, which consist of microorganisms adhering to surfaces, can significantly improve treatment efficiency by facilitating the breakdown of organic matter and nutrients. The chapter discusses various biofilm reactor designs, such as moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs) and trickling filters, highlighting their operational advantages over traditional activated sludge systems. This chapter seeks to close the knowledge gap between theoretical concepts and actual wastewater treatment solutions by fusing fundamental principles with real-world applications. This will ultimately lead to the adoption of more sustainable water management practices.
