What are the Methods of Decontamination Using Nanotechnology?
Several methods utilize nanotechnology for decontaminating environments polluted with organic substances:
1. Adsorption: Nanomaterials like activated carbon and carbon nanotubes can adsorb organic contaminants due to their high surface area. 2. Catalytic Degradation: Nanocatalysts can accelerate the breakdown of organic contaminants into less harmful substances. 3. Photocatalysis: Titanium dioxide nanoparticles can use sunlight to degrade organic contaminants through photocatalytic reactions.
