  4. Abstract:
  5. Water resources have been continuously polluted by various wastewaters and cause many risks for humans and living organisms. One of the wastewater treatment solutions is nanotechnology-based approaches that enable wastewater treatment through efficient, flexible, multi-purpose, and cost-effective processes compared to conventional methods. Green synthesis is an environmentally friendly way to produce nanoparticles (NPs), which use biological materials to synthesize. Therefore, using plant extracts, microorganisms, and polysaccharides as stabilizing and reducing agents in the green synthesis of NPs can be an essential component of wastewater treatment in the future. However, there is a gap in the comprehensive review of the biogenic synthesis of NPs in wastewater treatment. In this review, previous research on green synthesis using various plant extracts, microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, microalgae, and polysaccharides, especially chitosan, were investigated in the treatment of various wastewaters. Factors such as temperature, pH, concentration, and reaction time played a crucial role in the synthesis of NPs, which were investigated separately. Finally, after a complete review of the studies and receiving the strengths and weaknesses of each method, future challenges and opportunities are discussed.
