Abstract
Nanotechnology is being an emerging science for wastewater treatment requires more research emphasis and depth knowledge. For wastewater treatment, different forms of nanomaterials are used based on the type of contaminants and treatment efficiency desired. With the development in the field of nanomaterials, novel and emerging nanomaterials are coming into existence. The nanomaterials used for wastewater treatment can be carbon, single-walled carbon nanotubes, multiple walled carbon nanotubes, covalent organic frameworks, metal and metal oxide- based nanoparticles. Graphene based nanoparticles, their oxides (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) find tremendous applicability to be used in wastewater treatment purposes. Due to the introduction of graphene oxide nanoparticles in the adsorbent materials, their adsorption capacities have get enhanced and such materials have also improved the mechanical stability of the adsorbent. Ferric oxide shows greater adsorption capacities for organic pollutants. Furthermore, magnetic nano-powder confers a low adsorption capacity for phenols. Pyrrolidone reduced graphene oxide (PVP-RGO) nanoparticles have been used as adsorbents for the elimination of inorganic target contaminant copper, with great adsorption (1698 mg/g). The present study comprehensively reviews nanotechnology as a wastewater treatment strategy besides enlightening its safety issues and efficiency. The novelty of this article is that it highlights the overview of recent applications of various types of nanomaterials and research works releated to it. Such an approach will be helpful to get insights into technological advances, applications and future challenges of nanotechnology implementation for wastewater treatment.
