Nanoparticles have emerged as a promising tool in water treatment due to their unique physicochemical properties, such as high surface area, reactivity, and selectivity. The use of nanoparticles in water treatment can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of traditional water treatment processes, such as coagulation, flocculation, adsorption, and filtration. Nanoparticles can be functionalized with various surface chemistries, which enables their selective removal of specific contaminants, including heavy metals, organic compounds, and microorganisms. Nanoparticles can also be used as catalysts to promote the degradation of organic pollutants and disinfection of water. However, the use of nanoparticles in water treatment also presents challenges, such as potential toxicity to humans and the environment, and the need for effective nanoparticle recovery and disposal. Further research is needed to optimize the use of nanoparticles in water treatment and ensure their safe and sustainable application. This paper presents an overview of current trends in the utilization of Nanoparticles for water treatment/disinfection.
