Abstract The world’s water is becoming increasingly polluted as both industrial activity and population continue to grow rapidly. There is an urgent need for cleaner and more sustainable methods of water treatment. Conventional physical and chemical purification techniques often fail to effectively remove persistent pollutants such as heavy metals, dyes, oils and emerging organic contaminants. Because of their unique physicochemical properties and high efficiency, nanoparticles and bio surfactants have recently gained attention as eco friendly alternatives. Nanoparticles including metal, metal oxide, carbon based and composite materials—possess remarkable surface area, reactivity and catalytic capabilities that enable the removal or degradation of various hazardous substances. Similarly, bio surfactants produced by microorganisms improve pollutant solubilization, emulsification and bioavailability, while maintaining low toxicity and biodegradability. This review paper highlights the structure, advantages and applications of both nanoparticles and bio surfactants in wastewater treatment. It also explains how these materials enhance pollutant removal through mechanisms such as adsorption, photo catalysis, micelle formation and microbial augmentation. The combination of these environmentally friendly solutions offers a highly effective and sustainable approach to addressing modern wastewater challenges and supporting long term environmental preservation.
