What are the Applications of Nanotechnology in Soil Remediation?
Nanotechnology offers several applications for soil remediation. Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) is commonly used to detoxify contaminated soils by reducing heavy metals and organic pollutants. Additionally, carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide can adsorb contaminants, making them easier to remove from the soil. These nanomaterials enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of traditional soil remediation techniques.
