Removal of Heavy Metals From Waste Water Using Different Biosensors

Abstract

Recently, much effort has been made to reach to an effective strategy for wastewater monitoring. Several pieces of evidence support the special role of biosensors in plans for the administration of water resources. Concerning this fact, there are some technical and practical limitations and complications, which should be overcome to develop more efficient and commercial applicable biosensors. To achieve this goal for the detection of a broad range of wastewater pollutants, it is necessary to design novel sensing systems with larger detection range and capability for the simultaneous detection of several compounds. Additionally, the limit of detection in the lower concentration range should be possible, and also biosensor should have long-storage stability. This chapter explores the various ways by which heavy metals can be removed from wastewater. Different biosensors are under investigation that can be used to remove different pollutants form different ecosystems. This will help to solve the problem of water pollution and will also help to reduce human health impact.
