NANOCOMPOSITE HYDROGELS FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Abstract

The insufficient access to drinking water is one of the most prevailing problems throughout the world. It is highly essential for future demands to bring wastewater to reusable form. Hence, water purification has been the focus and attention of many scientists and governmental agencies. The combination of adsorption and nanotechnologyoriented approach with conventional treatment methods has offered interesting benefits to treat waste water. During the last decade, hydrogels have been used as potential adsorbents for the removal of different types of water pollutants.
