Resumen. El objetivo de este artículo es revisar el panorama acerca de las nanotecnologías para el tratamiento del agua en México, desde la investigación y desarrollo hasta los procesos y dispositivos disponibles en el mercado. El estudio abarcó un análisis bibliométrico de publicaciones científicas, una base de datos con los grupos de investigación sobre el tema, un catálogo de patentes y, finalmente, una descripción de las empresas mexicanas que producen instrumentos y dispositivos para descontaminar, purificar y desalinizar el agua. Pese a que no existe una estrategia nacional respecto a las nanotecnologías en nuestro país, de 2000 a 2015, se publicaron 115 artículos sobre el tema en 45 instituciones, lo cual coloca a México como país que aporta gran porcentaje de la investigación sobre el tema en la región; asimismo, hay empresas nacionales e internacionales que ofrecen opciones para el tratamiento del agua, a saber: dispositivos y materiales nanoestructurados, así como servicios para purificar el agua con nanopartículas.Palabras clave. Nanotecnología, tratamiento de agua, recurso acuífero, innovación tecnológica, México Abstract. The aim of this article is to review the outlook about nanotechnologies for water treatment in Mexico, from research and development to the processes and devices available in the market. The study included a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications, a database with research groups on the subject, a catalog of patents, and, finally, a description of Mexican companies that produce instruments and devices to decontaminate, purify and desalinate water. Although there is no national strategy regarding nanotechnologies in our country, from 2000 to 2015, 115 articles on the subject were published in 45 institutions, placing Mexico as a country that contributes a large percentage of research on the subject; also, there are national and international companies that offer different options for water treatment, from nanostructured devices and materials to services for water purification with different nanoparticles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
