Abstract
Major challenges in global groundwater supply mainly Come from population growth and climate change requiring innovative water technologies to keep steady supply of drinking water and decrease water pollution worldwide. In particular, agricultural activities impact groundwater pollution. Against this background, the adaptation of highly advanced bioremediation supported by microencapsulation technology to traditional process engineering offers new opportunities in technological developments for advanced groundwater and wastewater technology processes. In this study, benefits of microencapsulation technology for in situ bioremediation of polluted groundwater applications, particularly in bio-augmentation and bio-stimulation, are presented. In addition, an overview of recent advances in microencapsulation technology for contaminated groundwater treatment processes is provided, including the use of various micro-carrier materials are also summarized.
Keywords: Microencapsulation; Groundwater contamination; Micro-carrier; Bioremediation
