ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses all the possible applications of nanoremediation with various biological sources being used in field of technology. Nanobioremediation technologies which are used include chemical and physical remediation, incineration, and bioremediation. Nanobioremediation is a technique which helps in transforming the harmful pollutants into safer molecules using various microbes in combination with nanoparticles of less than 100 nm. The basic principle of nanobioremediation is defined as degradation of organic wastes using nanocatalysts as a medium, which allows them to penetrate deep inside the contaminants and treat them safely without affecting the surroundings, with the help of several microorganisms. When nanoscience and nanoengineering are combined together, the end result is better opportunities for the applications being used currently in nanobioremediation. There must be some effective oil remediation technologies for the cleanup process. Nanomaterials are being used in various applications like manufacturing building materials, treating various environmental pollutants, and even providing foods for microorganisms to feed on.
