“…Manufacturing nano‐adsorbents can help provide clean, safe, and affordable water for human consumption. In previous reports, researchers have discussed some of the recent advances that have been made in the use of numerous nano‐adsorbents (including magnetic nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes, titanium, ceria, yttrium, zirconium, copper, perlite, biochar, alumina, and polymeric nanocomposites) for removing As effectively (Ghosh et al., 2021). The removal of heavy metals from water can be executed by physical methods (membrane separation, sedimentation, screening, filtration), chemical methods (chemical precipitation, coagulation, adsorption, ion exchange, solvent extraction and neutralization), and biological methods (using aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms) as discussed by researchers earlier (Abdel‐Raouf & Abdul‐Raheim, 2017).…”

In the advancing generation, commercialization and industrial development are on the incessant proliferation. Due to this unremitting need for development, the danger to the biological health of the environment is on the assurgent rise. Many “clean and green” industrial protocols have been generated and taken into purview but has been ineffective in keeping abreast with the ever‐growing pace of environmental threats. Technology in today's world has been the game changer in revolutionizing the way humans live their lives today but at the same time, has also become the greatest source of threat to the very sustainability of the planet. Thus, newer technological enhancements have been initiated to compensate for the harm to the environment. Of these, green and sustainable nanotechnological methodology and tools to be used as zero waste tools have been developed to efficiently beat the crisis of the hour. For example, the development of various nano‐based zero‐waste tools to the introduction of nanotechnology in various industries like automobiles, water, agriculture, and so on, has changed the way sustainable development has been adopted. This article aims to enhance the success of nanotechnology in the various sustainable developments done in industrial fields to cope up with the need of a “clean and green” environment.
