How does Nanotechnology contribute to Water Purification?
Nanotechnology also contributes to water purification through the development of nanofiltration membranes and nanocatalysts. Nanofiltration membranes can selectively remove ions and organic molecules from water, making them highly effective for desalination and removal of heavy metals. Nanocatalysts, like titanium dioxide nanoparticles, can degrade organic pollutants under UV light, offering a powerful solution for the breakdown of harmful substances.
