Abstract
The water cycle continually recycles the planet's finite and a valuable source of water. Wastewater is defined as water that’s physicochemical, or biological characteristics have altered as a result of the presence of pollutants like diseases, heavy metals, organic or inorganic chemicals, or other toxins that render it detrimental to the environment. Enhancing the efficiency of current methods and making nanomaterials more reusable, nanotechnology focuses on enhancing the existing methods in order to lower the cost of operating the plant or operations. Because of their unique properties, which include high surface-to-volume ratios, high reactivity, sensitivity, the ability to self-assemble into films on substrates, high adsorption, etc., nanomaterials are well suited used in the purification of water. Because of their powerful capabilities, nanomaterials are effective against the various harmful bacteria found in contaminated water, as well as a wide range of pollutants, both inorganic and organic, heavy metals, and other contaminants.
