“…Combustion brings about chemical and physical changes in coal structure which result in the release of organic fractions [146]. The process is followed by cyclization or radical condensation reactions which lead to formation of polycyclic compounds in the form of fine particulate matter or gases [147]. During coal burning, the two possible sources of PAHs formation are incomplete combustion and chemical changes.…”

“…In wastewater treatment, it is used for the nano-remediation of dyes, heavy metals, microbes, antibiotics, and other pollutants [160,161]. It is widely used as an adsorbent for mercury, which depends on the percentage of unburned carbon in the CFA and the nature of unburned carbon [147]. In addition to the abovementioned applications, carbon (both burned and unburned) could be utilized as a precious and economical source of activated carbon [162], which needs only some surface modification and activation [79].…”

Coal fly ash is found to be one of the key pollutants worldwide due to its toxic heavy metal content. However, due to advancements in technology, coal fly ash has gained importance in various emerging fields. They are rich sources of carbonaceous particles which remain unburnt during burning of various coals in thermal power plants (TPPs). Various carbonaceous nanoparticles in the form of fullerenes, soot, and carbon nanotubes could be recovered from coal fly ash by applying trending techniques. Moreover, coal fly ash is comprised of rich sources of organic carbons such as polycyclic and polyaromatic hydrocarbons that are used in various industries for the development of carbon-derived value-added materials and nanocomposites. Here, we focus on all the types of carbon nanominerals from coal fly ash with the latest techniques applied. Moreover, we also emphasize the recovery of organic carbons in polyaromatic (PAHs) and polycyclic hydrocarbons (PCHs) from coal fly ash (CFA). Finally, we try to elucidate the latest applications of such carbon particle in the industry.

“…Nanotechnology provides opportunities for the development of new means and mechanisms delivering of agrochemical agents (synthetic nanomaterials) to increase crop yields and reduce the use of pesticides. They can be used to create nanobiosensors in plant protection, to detect residues of agrochemicals, diagnose plant diseases, and in other fields [75][76][77][78]. At the same time, there are concerns about the safety of using nanomaterials due to insufficient research on their possible negative impact on the environment, and unknown consequences [75,[79][80].…”

Future environmental applications require the integration of green and sustainable nanomaterials. Hence, this chapter highlights the basics of nanotechnology and summarizes the synthesis of green nanomaterials compared to the conventional routes of nanomaterials. Nano-characterization techniques have been classified to identify/confirm the synthesized nanomaterials. A comprehensive overview about zerovalent metal nanomaterials, metal-based nanomaterials, carbonaceous nanomaterials, and nanocomposites is explored. The optimum parameters and conditions are studied. Furthermore, green synthesis mechanisms of some nanomaterials are discussed. Subsequent to an overview of various green nanomaterials, their integration for various pollutants' removal is presented.
