Abstract:
Mycelial pellets, as a novel biomass material, can adsorb pollutants as a biosorbent, or combine other substances and organisms to form self-immobilized biomixture (SIB) to remove pollutants from wastewater. The pellets are eco-friendly, have a good self-immobilization capacity, and are easy to filter. In addition, some mycelial fungi can remove the pollutants in water through biodegradation. This study reviewed biomixture based on mycelial pellets and the two ways, through which SIB remove pollutants in water: pure pellets and the pellets with other materials. The characteristics and functions of each part of SIB were discussed. The study also highlighted the shortcomings of the technology and provided recommendations for further development of this technology.
