Abstract
The contamination-free water is the primary issue on the globe. So, clean water is a demand that is increasing daily with the enhancement of the world's population. The development of advanced water supply technologies and efficient methods for treating, utilizing, and recycling water may be aided by nanotechnology. The pristine nanomaterial has poor adsorption capacity to capture the organic adsorbent compared to its composites because composites have synergistic effects to improve their stability and performance. Several nanomaterials have been utilized to remove the targeted pollutants. These nanomaterials are layered double hydroxides (LDHs), metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), MXene, and graphene. These materials have variable pollutant removal capacity because of their structural, morphological, chemical, and physical characteristics. Additionally, the specific surface area, porosity, and existence of multiple active sites on the material interface are key parameters that directly impact its pollutant removal performance. Generally, the material possesses higher SSA and porosity and active sites with promising pollutant removal capacity and stability. This chapter provided advanced literature studies to discuss the role of nanomaterials in pollutant removal, the mechanism and route for pollutant removal, the adsorption mechanism for pollutant removal, and the performance of nanomaterials such as LDHs, MOF, MXene, and graphene for emerging pollutant removal has been discussed. In the final future, challenges and prospects have been addressed.
