Innovations in Nanotechnology in Water purification
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
A grand challenge of the 21st century is providing clean and potable water to meet human needs. By population growth, global climate change, and water quality deterioration worldwide, water supply struggles to keep up with the fast growing demand. The need of the hour is the technological innovation to enable integrated water management. In advancing water and wastewater treatment Nanotechnology holds great potential to improve treatment efficiency as well as to augment water supply through safe use of unconventional water sources. In this article we review recent development for water and wastewater treatment using Nanotechnology. Nanoscopic materials such as carbon nanotubes and alumina fibers for nanofiltration, exploits water purification using nanotechnology. It can be explained with the existence of nanoscopic pores in zeolite filtration membranes, as well as nanocatalysts and magnetic nanoparticles. Based on titanium oxide nanowires or palladium nanoparticles i.e., Nan sensors, are used for analytical detection of contaminants in water samples.
