Abstract:

Nanotechnology has emerged as a cutting-edge scientific discipline due to its potential toaddress a variety of environmental problems. The use of nano materials is advantageous because they have novel properties that have been demonstrated to be highly efficient and effective for waste water treatment such as high surface area high reactivity and strong mechanical properties. Currently nano technology is used in a variety of technological and industrial fields includinghealthcare energy food safety and electronics and has numerous practical applications. Nanomaterials are substances that are present at the nano metric scale which means they have one or both of their dimensions smaller than nm. The production and application of new nanomaterials (NMs) in numerous fields results in their gradual disposalin to wastes treams and eventual release into the atmosphere. Industrial waste household waste and hospital waste are just a few of thepossible sources of NM wastes that can enter the waste system. The majority of nano particles (NPs) used in the industry contain heavy metals which raise serious environmental concerns about contamination and bioavailability. Since nanomaterials are so tiny an electron microscope must be used to view them because a regular microscope cannot see them. As a result it is anticipated that the use of nano technology in waste management will lower costs increase process efficiency and decrease energy demand. The fate of the nano materials in wastewater treatment and the dangers of their use are also highlighted in this review.
