Abstract

Recycling wastewater is a legitimate need, even as drinking water, but conventional wastewater handling/treatment technologies are insufficient to produce safe water as per the need, health concerns, and rising contaminants. Recent advancements in nanotechnology claim the possibilities of novel nanomaterials for the purification of surface, ground, and wastewater affected by toxic metallic ions, organic and inorganic solutes, and microorganisms. Various studies have clearly described that those nanomaterials can successfully remove multiple pollutants in water and thus have been suitable for water and wastewater treatment. This review article emphasizes the broad spectrum of the latest innovations in nanotechnologies for water and wastewater treatment and recognizes benefits, risks, challenges, and prospects. This assessment of current advancements in nanotechnologies for water contamination remediation also covers nano-based materials such as nano-adsorbents, photocatalysts, nano-metals, and nanomembranes.
