ABSTRACT
New concepts and technologies are fast replacing the traditional methods of water distribution, supply and purification. Nanomaterials are well suited for water purification, disinfection and wastewater treatment. Membranes and filters synthesized using nanomaterials have selective permeability, good flux rates, increased durability, reliability in purification and reusability. Demand for Clean Water Drives Advances in Water and Wastewater Treatment
With the rising need for clean water and subsequent increase in generation of wastewater, it has become mandatory to treat wastewater in order to obtain high-quality pure water. “Various forms of nanotechnology such as, nanomembranes and nanoporous zeolites are being used for the treatment of water and wastewater,” according to the analyst of the study. “Though the pace of advancement of nanotechnology has been slow with respect to water and wastewater treatment, industrialists are researching various kinds of nanotechnology to effectively treat water and wastewater.”Nano tubes suckout the chloride ions from the sea water. In this method sea water also converted into drinking water.
