Abstract

Water pollution can cause severe health hazards in living organisms since most of the contaminants are toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic. There is a critical need to decontaminate the water from industrial effluents preceding their discharge into water bodies. The current chapter explores the potential of various nanoparticle-based adsorbents with special reference to nano zero-valent iron (NZVI), iron oxide, titanium, alumina, and silica in the field of adsorptive hosting of inorganic and organic pollutants from aqueous solutions. The nano adsorbents exhibit greater adsorption capacity, rapid adsorption rate, and competence to host various pollutants, recyclability, and reusability when compared to conventional adsorbents. These properties emphasize the relevance of nano adsorbents for the remediation of water contaminated with heavy metal ions, dyes, and chlorinated organic compounds. This chapter gives an overview of the progress and application of bare and functionalized metal and metal oxide nanoparticles for this purpose. Moreover, the mechanism of heavy metal ions, dyes, and organic chlorinated compounds removal by nanoparticles has also been discussed. The present chapter offers advanced information about the imperative characteristics of some metal and metal oxide-based nanoparticles and demonstrates their advantages as adsorbents in water remediation.
