Nanotechnology-Enhanced Remediation of Industrial Contaminants in Aquatic Systems; Challenges and Pathways to Sustainable Solutions
Nanotechnology-Based Remediation of Industrial Pollutants in Environmental Water Bodies Challenges and Sustainable Solutions” is a review paper that delves into the revolutionary potential of nanotechnology in tackling the pressing problem of water pollution resulting from industrial effluents. Since industrial pollutants such as organic compounds, heavy metals, and persistent poisons are more common in aquatic environments, traditional cleanup techniques have been shown to be ineffective or harmful to the environment. This paper explores the sophisticated use of nanomaterials for the efficient removal of various pollutants, such as nano adsorbents, nanocatalysts, and nanocomposites. Nanotechnology presents potential solutions for water purification by utilizing the special qualities of nanoparticles, such as their large surface area, reactivity, and customizable physical and chemical characteristics. This allows for quicker degradation and improved pollutant removal. The review highlights the need for scalable and sustainable solutions as it addresses the difficulties in deploying nanomaterials, including possible toxicity, environmental persistence, and high production costs. It also showcases state-of-the-art studies on environmentally friendly and biodegradable nanomaterials, as well as potential future paths for incorporating nanotechnology into large-scale water treatment systems. In the end, this research highlights how nanotechnology has the potential to transform the processes involved in water remediation, providing a way forward for cleaner water supplies and better environmental health.
