Abstract
Nanotechnology has emerged as an alternative to conventional water
treatment methods that involve high costs and processes. Nanomaterials offer great
potential for cleaning wastewater. Various nanomaterials have shown the potential to
remove pollutants such as organic and inorganic content, and toxic heavy metal ions
from wastewater. Nanoparticles with nanofibers and carbon nanotubes form an
important part of ultrafiltration membrane, osmosis, sorption, advanced oxidation
process, water remediation as well as disinfection processes. The rate of removal of
contaminants from wastewater depends upon the physical and chemical characteristics
of the nanomaterial, the contaminant, and wastewater
Keywords: Nanoparticles, Nanotechnology, Pollution, Purification.
