How Effective is Nanotechnology in Soil Remediation?
Nanotechnology offers promising solutions for soil remediation. Nanoparticles such as zero-valent iron (nZVI) can be used to decontaminate soils polluted with heavy metals and hydrocarbons. nZVI particles react with pollutants to form non-toxic end products. Additionally, clay-based nanocomposites can adsorb heavy metals and organic pollutants, reducing their mobility and ecological impact.
