Abstract :
Pollution of water by heavy metals is a major problem such as mercury, lead, cadmium,
cobalt, etc. The presence of toxic metals in the environment has detrimental effects on human and animal
health and disrupts the balance and order of the ecosystem. Therefore, it is necessary to study the ways to
eliminate these pollutants. The aim of this study was to compare nickel metal uptake by biological uptake
methods with the help of bacterium and brown algae Sargasom, Focus and Grasilaria red algae and
nanotechnology method. Based on the previous interpretations, It is compared the processes of removal
and recycling of nickel metal from industrial wastewater. Research question is that which method is more
effective for removal of heavy metals? Results show that biosorption, as an environmentally friendly
method, has a brilliant performance and is a low-cost internal method for wastewater treatment. The
biological treatment of effluents is carried out by bacteria, some fungi, algae and protozoa to examine the
conversion of effluent into a harmless state. Also results show that Iron-based nanostructured particles are
capable of decomposing highly stable contaminants such as perchlorate compounds, air nitrate, heavy
metals (nickel and mercury) and radioactive materials such as uranium dioxide. Nanostructured particles
are used for immediate treatment of sediments, water treatment and liquid waste.
