Nanotechnology: The Breakthrough in Water and Wastewater Treatment

Nanotechnology is the engineering and application of atoms, molecules, and particles whose sizes are on the nanometer scale (1 100 nm). Studies have shown that nanoparticles (NPs), most especially the nano metal oxides have improved and/or unusual physico-chemical properties when compared with the corresponding bulk materials. Thus, these unique properties make NPs very useful in medicine, elec...
