Water is a limited and important resource. The massive increase in home and industrial water consumption has been matched by an equal increase in domestic and industrial wastewater generation. Seas, rivers, and lakes have been employed as sinks for the disposal of domestic and industrial effluent despite the scarcity of water. As part of attempts to save water, many effluent treatment systems have been developed to purify effluents and enable their reuse.
Because some pollutants in wastewater are resistant to degradation by standard treatment processes, they persist in the environment. The purpose of this chapter is to look into the use of enzymes as a possible alternative to traditional methods for decomposing stubborn contaminants in wastewater. The purpose of this chapter is to give an overview of the various delivery mechanisms that can be utilised to introduce enzymes into the wastewater treatment reaction mixture. The chapter examines the many methods for delivering enzymes to digest target pollutants in effluents, including the use of microbial or plant cells, cell-free extracts, and nanoparticles, as well as the benefits and downsides of each method. Furthermore, the importance of existing and future research focusing on the development of cost-effective and environmentally sustainable wastewater treatment procedures is stressed.Author(S) Details
