Abstract
Biotechnology plays a pivotal role in advancing water treatment technologies, addressing the limitations of conventional methods. This chapter explores the integration of biotechnological approaches, such as the use of isolated enzymes, immobilized microorganisms, and bioelectrochemical systems, to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of water treatment processes. Emphasis is placed on innovative solutions like membrane bioreactors, constructed wetlands, and the application of nano biotechnology for the removal of micropollutants and other contaminants. The chapter also discusses the challenges and future prospects of scaling up these technologies for widespread application. The increasing industrialization and urbanization have led to significant wastewater pollution, posing severe environmental and health risks. Biotechnology offers innovative and sustainable solutions for wastewater treatment by leveraging biological processes and organism.
