Application of Nanomaterials in Water Purification: A review

Abstract

Providing clean water all over the world at low cost to meet human needs is a big challenge in the current century. As the world strives to keep pace with the increasing demand for clean water as quickly as possible due to the permanent increase in population density and the deterioration of the state of water and its quality in addition to climate changes. The requirement for developing technological innovations incorporated water managing can't be exaggerated. As reached by previous researchers, nanotechnology possesses vast capabilities to improve water treatment and purify it from organic and inorganic pollutants through the safe use of unconventional water sources. This review covers the methods that have been examined both laboratory and commercially in purifying and treating water. This research provides a discussion of the used methods, advantages and their limitations and also covers a study of nanomaterials used as photocatalysts, whether manufactured or under study. This is done by studying and reviewing the chemical and physical properties of these nanomaterials and their applications in treating water pollution.

Methylene Blue Removal on Biodegradable Adsorptive Membranes Fabricated From Sugarcane Bagasse Pulp: Characterization and Performance Study

“…[ 8 ] As a result, various research has been conducted over the years to identify effective and affordable water treatment solutions for removing these pollutants from wastewater while using various treatment technologies such as reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and adsorption. [ 9 ] Adsorptive membranes are a novel promising technique that may eliminate a variety of new toxins that endanger both human health and aquatic life and have come under scrutiny because of the limits and shortcomings of these approaches. [ 10 ] These membranes are appealing due to their variety of kinds and configurations as well as the combined benefit of adsorption/filtration processes.…”
