What Are Some Real-World Applications of Nanotechnology in Pollution Remediation?
Several real-world applications demonstrate the effectiveness of nanotechnology in pollution remediation:
- Water Purification: Nanofiltration membranes and CNTs are being used in water treatment plants to provide clean and safe drinking water. - Soil Remediation: nZVI particles are applied to contaminated soils to neutralize toxic substances, including heavy metals and organic pollutants. - Air Purification: Photocatalytic coatings containing TiO2 nanoparticles are used on building surfaces to break down pollutants in the air.
