This review focuses on the application of bioremediation technologies for removing organic pollutants, particularly hydrocarbons and textile dyes. It applies a descriptive bibliometric analysis to study the practicality of bioremediation for emerging organic pollutants and highlights the potential of using microalgae for bioremediation of micropollutants. The paper presents facts and figures on various hazardous pollutants, constraints in their current removal, and promising future solutions.
Organic contaminants in water are a growing environmental threat to sustainable development, with detrimental effects on the biosphere. In recent years, researchers have increasingly focused their attention on the area of bioremediation as an important tool to eliminate harmful pollutants from the environment. This review examines the application of bioremediation technologies to the removal of organic pollutants, with an emphasis on hydrocarbons and textile dyes. It applies a descriptive bibliometric analysis to study statistical practicality-vsapplicability of bioremediation of emerging organic pollutants. The paper identifies efficient pathways for bioremediation of different types of organic pollutants and outlines the potential for an eco-friendly and economical approach for the biological remediation of micropollutants by microalgae. Facts and figures on various hazardous pollutants, constraints in their current removal from water at an industrial level, and promising future solutions are carefully presented here.
