How Does Filtration Efficiency Improve with Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology enhances filtration efficiency in several ways:
Increased Surface Area: The high surface area of nanomaterials allows for more interaction sites, leading to better contaminant capture. Selective Filtration: The ability to engineer nanomaterials with specific pore sizes enables selective removal of particles based on size or chemical properties. Enhanced Adsorption: Nanomaterials often have high adsorption capacities, which improve the removal of pollutants. Catalytic Properties: Some nanomaterials can act as catalysts to degrade contaminants during the filtration process.
