Treatment of Textile Wastewater by Nanoparticles

Abstract

AbstractRapid globalisation and industrialisation are leading towards huge production of anthropogenic synthetic products. Synthetic products contain many hazardous compound, exposure of these compounds result into changes in environment and living being. After the production, 10–15% are going as waste which are creating major issues for the environment. So, removal of compounds is major task for all industrialists. Nanotechnology plays major role in removal of hazardous compounds from wastewater. Nanoparticles are in small size playing enormous role in catalysis and removal of toxic compound. Synthesis of nanoparticles is carried out by physical, chemical and biological method. Biological approach for synthesis of nanoparticles plays enormous role in treatment. Biological approach is highly efficient, stable, economic and less detrimental for the environment. Still, metal and metal oxide-based nanoparticles are having toxic properties and are transformed into environment and disturb the whole ecosystem. Modification in treatment strategies is mandatory to increase efficiency. Numerous research work is carried out and still going on.KeywordsNanotechnologyMetal and metal oxide-based nanoparticlesTreatment strategiesSynthesisToxic effect
