“…There are several problems related in in-situ transport processes of nano-particles which depict the reactivity loss of zero valent ion-particles with time [64,65]. Apart from this, several researchers have found that the in-situ application of nanoparticles leads to clustering effect enhanced the deposition of nano-particles which blocks the pore of soil due to which difficulty faced to reach the targeted contaminated areas [66,67]. Due to clogging effect of soil, filtration process becomes major issue in use of nZVI remediation.…”

Pollution is one of the biggest challenges of current times. For control of environmental pollutants, degradation of these contaminants is need of times. Degradation of pollutants can be achieved by various physical and chemical or by physicochemical approaches. Since these methods are in efficient, hence development of biological methods began. Bioremediation is the approach of using bacteria, fungi, plants, algae, etc. to degrade wide range of environmental pollutants. Nano-bioremediation is one of such method which has received lot of attention in past few years. Nano-sized particles have large surface area relative to their volumes and thus have enhanced chemical and biological reactivity. Nano-bioremediation aims at reducing the contaminant concentrations to low risk-based levels and alleviating environmental impacts simultaneously. It brings the benefits to both nanotechnology and bioremediation together to achieve remediation which is more efficient, less time taking and eco-friendly.
