“Nanotechnology in Environmental Applications: Nanoparticles Synthesis for Water Pollution and Wastewater Treatment”

Abstract

Global population growth is causing an increase in energy and the material consumption, which has an impact on the environment. Increased generation of solid waste, increased air pollution from cars and factories, and contamination of surface and groundwater are a few of these effects. The integration over the previous 20 year has changed of materials with artificial nano-scales. The nanotechnology market environmental applications are growing quickly rising, demonstrating the significance of such developments in both research and practices. By manipulating the shape and size of the materials at the nanoscale, nanotechnology is an emerging technology that can help combat pollution. Through the direct use of Nanomaterials for the detection, prevention and removal of pollutants as well as through the use of superior industrial design techniques and the creation of environmentally friendly goods, nanotechnology has the potential to improve the environment. Because of their small size and high surface area, nanoparticles exhibit increased reactivity. Although this trait has a variety of advantages and uses. This review provided comprehensive details on the use of nanotechnology in pollution control, including source reduction or pollution prevention, remediation or degradation of pollutants. Examined how to synthesized nanoparticles and nanotechnology is used in control and reduction of water pollution.
