Environmental Applications of Nanotechnology: Nano-enabled Remediation Processes in Water, Soil and Air Treatment

Nano Revolution: “Tiny tech, big impact: How nanotechnology is driving SDGs progress"

“…Nanosensors can enhance reliability and safety by identifying potential problems before they become severe and monitoring infrastructure in real time. Finally, waste [ [53] , [54] , [55] ] can be reduced, and water treatment [ 54 , 56 , 57 ] plants can operate more effectively thanks to nanotechnology-based water treatment technologies (elaborated in detail in the following sections).…”

Nano-Enhanced Microbial Remediation of PAHs Contaminated Soil

“…Last few years, several nanoparticles (NPs) are being employed in bioremediation such as metal-oxide, carbon nanotubes, biopolymers, and nanoscale zeolites (S. Kumari & Kumar, 2021;Younis et al, 2020). Modifications in nanocomposites like nano-enabled biochar enhance the porosity as well as surface area of NPs and augment functional groups for specific interaction with PAHs (Linley & Thomson, 2021). Magnetic NPs such as chitosan-coated C18-magnetite have been studied for the remediation of PAHs by absorbing from environment (Zhang et al, 2010).…”

Sustainable nanotechnology based wastewater treatment strategies: achievements, challenges and future perspectives

“…The major technical hurdle that has remained challenging is the detection of nanomaterial release for risk assessment. Information about detection methods is outside the reach of this paper and the subject is alluded to in many recent reviews (Tiede, Boxall et al 2008, Linley andThomson 2021). In complex aqueous matrices, few advanced and expensive methods can detect nanomaterials, but these usually have several limitations.…”
