Abstract Environmental pollution is a major issue that requires effective solutions. Nanomaterials (NMs) have emerged as promising candidates for remediation due to their unique properties. This review paper provides systematic analysis of the potential NMs environmental compared conventional techniques. It elaborates on several aspects, including and advanced techniques removing pollutants, classification (organic, inorganic, composite base). The efficiency in pollutants depends dispersion retention, with each type NM having different advantages disadvantages. Various synthesis pathways NMs, traditional (chemical physical) biological pathways, mechanisms reaction removal using such adsorption, filtration, disinfection, photocatalysis, oxidation, also are evaluated. Additionally, this presents suggestions future investigation strategies improve efficacy remediation. research so far strong evidence could effectively remove contaminants may be valuable assets various industrial purposes. However, further development necessary fully realize potential, exploring new improving retention environment. Furthermore, there need compare types remediating specific pollutants. Overall, highlights immense mitigating calls more direction. Graphical

Textile industry wastewater has become a growing concern in recent years due to it been characterized by high load of organic dyes, suspended and dissolved solids, alkaline pH, low biodegradability. As result, environmental authorities necessitate textile industries treat effluents before discharge into the environment. Tertiary filters, particularly membrane filtrations, are most preferable process recover good-quality water at tertiary treatment phase, which feeds from secondary effluents, processes. However, fouling is still challenge higher colloids, matter, level bio-colloids (mostly effluents) process. Bio-colloids any colloidal entities matter including microorganisms their exudates. Hence, coagulation/flocculation unit process, as pretreatment option, critical both primary stage after (biological) prevent problems filters.

This work investigates the applicability of clinoptilolite, a natural zeolite, as low-cost adsorbent for removing chromium from aqueous solutions using fixed bed studies. To improve its removal performance inorganic pollutant, is pretreated with NaCl to prepare it in homoionic form Na+ before undertaking ion exchange Cr3+ solution. also evaluates if treated effluents could meet required effluent discharge standard set by legislation target pollutant. sustain cost-effectiveness wastewater treatment, spent regenerated NaOH. It was found that clinoptilolite has two-times higher Cr adsorption capacity (4.5 mg/g) than as-received (2.2 mg/g). Pretreatment enabled treat more volume (BV) (64 BV) at breakthrough point 0.5 mg/L concentration and achieve longer time (1500 min) first run, compared (32 BV; 250 min). suggests pretreatment rendered Na+.
