Application of Nanotechnology for Water Treatment, Edition 1

Water is an indispensable resource for life, yet its contamination poses a critical global challenge. Rapid population growth, industrialization, and urbanization have intensified water pollution, leading to an urgent need for innovative solutions to ensure safe and sustainable water resources. In this context, nanotechnology has emerged as a groundbreaking field, offering advanced materials and mechanisms for efficient water treatment. Nanotechnology is a promising advanced technology for several fields. Nanomaterials have become outstanding solutions for wastewater remediation due to their unique properties such as high reactivity, high surface area, wide band gap, small size, affordability, and non-toxicity. Nanomaterials provide novel strategies that improve conventional and already-existing water sources and provide great opportunities to degrade target pollutants effectively. Among these technologies, semiconductor photocatalysis has gained prominence for its environmentally friendly and highly effective approach to water remediation. This book, Nanotechnology for Water Treatment, offers a comprehensive exploration of how nanotechnology addresses water contamination. It explores the fundamentals, materials, methods, and applications of nanotechnology in treating water, providing a roadmap for researchers, environmentalists, and industry professionals. By bridging the gap between fundamental research and practical applications, this book aims to inspire new ideas and advancements in the pursuit of clean and sustainable water resources.
