This abstract explores the application of green nanotechnology to improving water
purification processes. With global concerns over water scarcity and pollution,
sustainable methods that minimize environmental impact are imperative. This study
aims to investigate the efficacy of utilizing green nanomaterials in water purification to
address these pressing challenges.
The research employed a combination of experimental studies and theoretical
frameworks to assess the effectiveness of green nanotechnology in water treatment.
Synthesis of green nanomaterials derived from natural sources was achieved using a
sol-gel method, with characterization conducted via techniques such as X-ray diffraction
(XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
These synthesized nanomaterials were then incorporated into filtration systems using
techniques such as electrospinning or layer-by-layer assembly. Various characterization
techniques, including dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta potential measurements,
were employed to analyze the physicochemical properties of the developed materials.
Water quality analyses were conducted using standard methods such as turbidity measurements, chemical oxygen demand (COD) tests, and microbial enumeration techniques. Filtration efficiency was assessed by monitoring the removal of contaminants, pathogens, and heavy metals from water sources through techniques like atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
This study revealed promising results, showcasing the enhanced filtration capabilities of
green nanomaterials. Significant improvements were observed in the removal efficiency
of contaminants, pathogens, and heavy metals from water sources. Furthermore, the
utilization of green nanotechnology exhibited reduced energy consumption and minimized waste generation compared to conventional methods.
The findings highlight the potential of green nanotechnology as a sustainable solution
for water purification. Integrating these eco-friendly materials into filtration systems
presents a viable approach to mitigating water pollution while ensuring resource
efficiency. This study emphasizes the importance of further research and implementation of green nanotechnology in advancing environmentally friendly water treatment processes for a more sustainable future.
