Abstract
Freshwater resources are limited on the earth, and we have highly contaminated it with various pollutants. Reuse and recycle of wastewater is the need of the hour in the present Anthropocene. Removal of heavy metals from the wastewater is one of the prerequisites for further reuse of the water. Evidence shows that heavy metal contamination can disrupt ecosystem functioning and human health. Several researchers have reported the bio-sorption process using waste material as alternative adsorbents to remove heavy metal from aqueous medium. Despite the advantages of the bio-sorption process, there are still several research need to be included like evaluation of bisorbent against industrial wastewater and its economic assessmment for its commercialization. This review synthesizes the contemporary information on heavy metal (Cd, Pb, Ni, Cr, As, Hg) removal from various biomaterials (plant-based, algae-based, animal/bacteria/fungi/protozoa) from the literature published between 2007 and 2020.
