The impact of multi-walled carbon nanotubes on the mechanical and environmental properties of porous concrete in removing pollutants for use in surface runoffs

Can bacteria and carbon-based nanomaterials revolutionize nanoremediation strategies for industrial effluents?

“…This analysis highlights the potential of combining CBNs and microorganisms in nanobioremediation, offering sustainable solutions to environmental challenges (Singh et al, 2024a;Ezeorba et al, 2024). Case studies in industrial nanobioremediation have shown effective pollution removal, including hydrocarbon decomposition in oil waste, elimination of textile dyes, soil decontamination from heavy metals, and pesticide processing from agricultural waste, emphasizing the sustainability and effectiveness of these nanocomposite systems in environmental cleanup (Jatoi et al, 2024b;Yahyaee and Mofidi, 2024).…”

“…The objective is to effectively eliminate various hydrocarbon contaminants from water polluted by oil spills. Several methods have been developed to modify surfaces, such as acid treatment, grafting functional groups, and impregnating with metals or metal oxides (Hu et al, 2024;Yahyaee and Mofidi, 2024). In general, the modifications of CNTs can be achieved through either covalent or non-covalent functionalization, which greatly improves their effectiveness in environmental remediation (Y.…”
