Abstract

Access to safe and clean water has become a more challenging task worldwide as water resources are limited, and the population that relies on these limited supplies is expected to grow. The presence of pollutants in water affects human health and hygiene and decreases food safety. The supply of clean water is required for all the phases of food production, including processing, transportation, and consumption. Environmentally viable nanomaterials are being used to purify wastewater because of their distinctive characteristics, like high effectiveness and selectivity, larger surface area, cost-effective, recyclable, and high thermal and mechanical stability. This chapter provides an overall review of nanomaterials and their types and techniques used to eliminate organic and inorganic contaminants from wastewater.
