Abstract

The ubiquitous presence of chemical pollutants in water systems poses threat to humans and causes major environmental issues. The utilization of functionalized nanomaterials in water treatment offers the potential to remove chemical contaminants such as dyes, heavy metals, and pharmaceuticals. This chapter discusses noncarbon-based materials such as metal-based nanoparticles, geosorbents (bentonite, zeolite, sepiolite, etc.), chitosan, and magnetic nanocomposites for the removal of chemical pollutants in aqueous matrices. The adsorption, photocatalytic degradation, and coagulation-flocculation approaches are the most widely used techniques in water treatment processes, and they are discussed in this chapter.
