What Role Does it Play in Environmental Remediation?
Geological nanotechnology offers innovative solutions for environmental remediation. Nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and nanoclays can adsorb pollutants from soil and water, effectively removing contaminants. Additionally, nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) particles are highly effective in breaking down organic pollutants and heavy metals, making them a powerful tool for cleaning up contaminated sites.
