LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -There are several wastewater treatment methods based on biotechnology that are used worldwide. It includes Activated Sludge, Oxidation Ponds, Tricking Filters, Bio-filters and Anaerobic treatment. All the methods are part of the biological wastewater treatment and use microbes to treat organic waste in sewage.

Detailed explanation-2: -In Bioremediation, we use biological entities for solving environmental issues such as contaminated soil or groundwater and much more. Through the bioremediation process, we can clean the hazardous substances up into non-toxic compounds. For this cleaning up process, we mostly use microbes.

Detailed explanation-3: -It typically involves physical, chemical, and biological methods to reduce solids, organic matter, nutrients, pathogens, and toxic substances. Biotechnology can be used to enhance the biological methods of wastewater treatment by introducing microorganisms, enzymes, or plants to degrade pollutants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biotechnology involves the use of microbial communities to provide services to society. One such service provides green alternatives to the treatment of wastewater and water resources by harnessing micro-organisms for the detoxification of contaminated water and soil such as priority list contaminants.
