Abstract
Nanotechnology offers novel nanomaterials having a good potential for the surface, ground and wastewater treatment contaminants using different technologies. Performance of membrane technology is based upon the type and size of material, and novel nano-structured materials range from 4 nm to 100 nm. Among the numerous 3D nanoparticles having high potential applications, nanostructured coated ceramic membranes, nanocomposite, TFC, carbon nano tubes (CNT), zeolite, silicate and mixed matrix membranes are considered as the most promising ones for water treatment technologies. This discussion provides the comparison among conventional methods and nanomaterials. Here, we discuss the basic principal, mechanism of membrane technology, characterization, advantages, limitation in comparison to other exciting membrane materials and the need for research and development for commercialization. Keywords: Carbon nanotubes (CNT), Composites, Membranes, Membrane Bioreactor system (MBRs), Nanotechnology, Semiconductor. Cite this Article: Tahir Iqbal, Amber Batool, Aqsa Tehseen, Almas Bashir.
