Abstract

Environmental pollution has become a major global challenge for the humanity. People are becoming more concern about the ill effects of polluted environment. Out of the different contaminations, water pollution is one of the major challenges. Nanomaterials particularly green nanomaterials in various shapes/morphologies, like tubes, wires, fibers, and polymer nanocomposites, work as adsorbents and photocatalysts for the detection and removal of various types of pollutants from water. Nanomaterials show a better performance in environmental remediation than other conventional techniques because of their high surface area (surface-to-volume ratio) and their associated high reactivity. In this chapter synthesis of different types of nanomaterials and nanocomposites using different green approaches and their application for the removal of inorganic, dye, organic, and biological pollutants from water will be discussed at length.
