Abstract

Nanotechnology has created revolution in all fields of developmental research and technology which includes environmental aspects too. At the present scenario, there is a global demand for potable water and treatability of wastewater and the constraints are mainly due to the climate change associated with global population growth. In order to combat the present haphazard, novel treatability methods that upgrade the existing method of treatment should be adopted. The interventions of notably advanced nanotechnology to upgrade the traditional water treatment and wastewater engineering render new opportunities. The advent of nanotechnology in all aspects of science and technology is because of their distinct special characteristics at the nanoscale level such as greater specificity, larger surface area and high loading capacity for improved catalysis as well as high reactivity. And also to the aforementioned features, the nanomaterials have advantageous mechanical, electrical, optical and magnetic properties which are significantly different from the conventional materials. This chapter envisages the overall use of distinct nanomaterials in all the treatment aspects of water and wastewater.
