Abstract
Environmental clean-up for the removal of recalcitrant pollutants is a global
concern, especially in the terms of industrial waste. Research over the years has led to
the development of various conventional physicochemical and biological methods for
the decontamination of numerous pollutants. These methods however are reported to be
extremely expensive and with limited success. Nano-remediation has been reported as
an effective alternative in this regard. The chapter outlines the use of various
nanoparticles as an innovative and cutting-edge technology for the clean-up of
environmental pollutants. It describes the use of fabricated nanoparticles to remove
pollutants. The chapter offers an overview of current research developments in the
emerging field of nano-remediation with special emphasis on textile dyes, elucidating
the mechanisms involved.
