A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON AN EMERGING TOOL: BIOCARRIER AND TECHNIQUES UTILIZE TO PREPARE BIOCARRIERS

Abstract

In the field of microbial treatment technology, bio-carriers are important components. Fiber-based bacterial carriers are superior to other types in many ways, including more specific surface area, improved structural designability, and improved service performance in challenging settings thanks to polypropylene (PP) fibers. Biocarriers are solids that allow the good attachment of microbes during wastewater treatment, such carrier system not having a good carrying property but also used as acid-leaching agent, effective porosity agent, good solubilizer and advance foaming agent. This carrier system provides an enclosing system for carrying a treatment material made up of different material like Polypropylene, Chitosan, Polyproline, Polypyrolidine, Cellulose derivatives etc. In this study, a modification was used to give Polypropylene fibers a positive charged film by coating chitosan, which increased the quantity of bacteria loaded. Compared to other fibers, the modified PP (MPP) fibers demonstrated improved bio-affinity. Bacteria were ten times more likely to be stuck to MPP than on PP, and alteration gave PP fibers chelating cation function. MPP might undoubtedly make a suitable candidate for a bio-carrier.
