Diagnosis of bodies of water polluted with sulfur-containing compounds (S) as a result of seawater intrusion, as well as the the use seawater (e.g. seawater flushing, cooling) and manufacturing processes, became a difficult problem, given that nearly two-thirds of the world's population lives within 150 kilometers of the coast. Using sulfate-reducing bacteria, researchers have already developed a variety of bioartificial systems for the treatment of industrial sulfate-containing sewage and sulfur-contaminated groundwater (SRB). The bulk of these research are focused on SRB alone or on microbiological rather than engineering applications. Existing sulfate-based biochar application and novel methods for treating sulfate-contaminated waterways are addressed in this study. Because the sulfur cycle is linked to the carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles, a new framework of sulfur-based biotechnologies capable of removing sulfate and other pollutants (such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and metal) from wastewaters may be created. For a greater understanding of S associated modern biotechnology, all potential electrons donors for sulfate reduction are outlined, giving rates and advantages of each electron donor. The improvement of sulfur conversion-based biotechnologies was aided by a study of known SRB and their environmental preferences with respect to bioreactor operating parameters (e.g. pH, temperature, salinity, etc.). This study not only summarizes information from existing sulfur transformation biotechnologies for further improvement and comprehension, but it also proposes new sulfur-related biotechnology research paths.
