Abstract:
Heavy metals are significant contaminants of industrial waste that show a higher risk of environmental and health issues. Serious health issues like cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurological issues can be caused when unrefined industrial waste is discharged into the ecosystem. Thus, there is a need to develop efficiently and cost-effective methods for the removal of heavy metals. The objective of this research is to apply a nano-based system on industrial wastewater to extract heavy metals that would be beneficial in saving the environment and human health. Removal of heavy metals can also be taken out by the methods like ion exchange, chemical precipitation, and coagulation; however, these are not much effective as they take a long time, are more expenses, and create a lot of sludge. On the other side, nano biosystems offer various advantages over conventional methods, including high efficiency, cost effectiveness, and ability to have selectivity against heavy metals. Moreover, nanoparticles can easily be synthesized and give us the desired results in little time. The major aim of this work is introducing a sustainable and affordable Nano biosystem for the removal of toxic metals from industrial wastewater. The application of nano-based materials such as nanotubes, nanoparticles, and nanofibers expressed propitious outcomes in removing the toxic metals. This review investigates the optimal values for the parameters such as pH, the concentration of nanoparticles and contact time with the toxic elements that maximize heavy metal extraction. The findings of this study will provide information for the protection of both the environment and human health by using the innovative and most effective nano biosystems for the purification of industrial wastewater.
