“…A range of types of bioreactors are employed for the wastewatertreatment which is trustworthy, gainful and powerful in discharging a broad range of pollutants. There are some well-known bioreactors which summarize in the following sections are as follow: rotating biological contactor (RBC), packed bed reactor (PBR), fluidized bed reactor (FBR), continuous stirred tank bioreactor (CSTR), upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor (UASB), membrane bioreactor (MBR), dynamic membrane bioreactor (DMBR), membrane distillation bioreactor (MDBR), aerated membrane bioreactor (IAMBR), enhanced membrane bioreactor (EMBR) and photobioreactor (Soni-Bains et al 2017). All these types of bioreactor have been utilizing for the treatment of different industrial wastewater by using different microbes (Table 1).…”

“…Microorganisms present in the biofilm oxidize and decompose waste organic matter and convert them into a simple and non-toxic form. The benefits of the RBC are no sludge return, large shock load capability, power saving, little noise, little sludge generated, easy maintenance and management (Soni-Bains et al 2017). del Álamo et al (2020 deliberated the potential of the white-rot fungi to remove the micropollutants from wastewater.…”

“…The elevated amount of active biomass was liable to obtain a quite higher breakdown of high organic load present in the wastewater. The treatment capability is about 10-20 times greater than the conventional activated sludge process (Soni-Bains et al 2017). Figure 2 shows the systematic scheme of FBR.…”

“…In this anaerobic procedure, intricate organic substance is transformed into methane gas by processes similar to methanogenesis, hydrolysis, and acidogenesis (Bains et al 2017). UASB has several advantages over aerobic technologies such as uncomplicated configuration and maintenance, strength in terms of COD removal efficiency, plain configuration, low fabrication and operating cost, small land demand, pH and influent concentration, low excess sludge production, capability to cope with variations in temperature, rapid biomass regeneration after shutdown, and energy production in the form of biogas or hydrogen (Singh et al 2013).…”

In the recent past, wastewater treatment processes perform a pivotal role in accordance to maintain the sustainable environment and health of mankind at a proper hygiene level. It has proven as indispensable by government regulations throughout the world due to the importance of preserving freshwater bodies. Human activities, predominantly from industrial sectors, generate an immeasurable amount of industrial wastewater loaded with toxic chemicals, which not only cause dreadful environmental problems but also leave harmful impacts on public health. Hence, industrial wastewater effluent must be treated before releasing into the environment to restrain the problems related to industrial wastewater discharge to the environment. Nowadays, biological wastewater treatment methods have been considered as an excellent approach for industrial wastewater treatment process because of their cost-effectiveness in the treatment, high efficiency, and their potential to counteract the drawbacks of conventional wastewater treatment methods. Recently, the treatment of industrial effluent through bioreactor has proven as one of the best methods from the presently available methods. Reactors are the principle part of any biotechnology-based method for microbial or enzymatic biodegradation, biotransformation, and bioremediation. This review aims to explore and compile the assessment of the most appropriate reactors, like, packed bed reactor, membrane bioreactor, rotating biological contactor, up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor, photobioreactor, biological fluidized bed reactor, continuous stirred tank bioreactor, etc. that are extensively used for distinct industrial wastewater treatment.

Human needs have led to the development of various products which are produced in the industries. These industries in turn have become a source of various environmental concerns. As industries release regulated and unregulated contaminants into the water bodies, it has become a serious concern for all living organisms. Various emerging contaminates from industries like pesticides, pharmaceuticals drugs like hormones, antibiotics, dyes, etc., along with byproducts and new complexes contaminate the water bodies. Numerous traditional approaches have been utilized for the treatment of these pollutants; however, these technologies are not efficient in most cases as the contaminants are mixed with complex structures or as new substances. Advanced technologies such as bioreactor techniques, advanced oxidation processes, and so on have been used for the treatment of industrial wastewater and have served as an alternative way for wastewater treatment. Overall, biological treatment techniques based on bioreactors provide a long-term and ecologically useful solution to industrial wastewater contamination. They play an important role in saving water resources and encouraging a greener sustainable future for mankind. The current review outlines the industrial effluents that are released into water bodies, contaminating them, as well as the numerous traditional and novel treatment procedures used for industrial wastewater treatment.
