Abstract Immobilization of magnetic nanoparticles and enzymes with the aid of
chemicals and metals as their major support is extensively used in numerous applications, owing to their superparamagnetic nature, surface interaction, alteration, and
binding specificity with the appropriate proteinaceous substances. The metal
nanoparticles are widely accepted as the antioxidants, and their prevalent usage
inadvertently releases toxic metals that contribute as a major threat to our environment. This leads to the development of the integrated biocatalyst that acts as the
robust carrier in the removal of hazardous pollutants in the wastewater. Heavy metals are considered to be a major threat to our environment due to industrialization
and urbanization.
Among various metals, International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry has
termed the heavy metal based on their intensity of toxicity and hazardous effects.
The agency for toxic contaminants and disease registry has listed the various metals
