Application of nanotechnology, nanofiltration, and water treatment a vision for the future
Keywords: nanotechnology; nanofiltration; drinking water.
New concepts and technologies are fast replacing the traditional methods of water
distribution, supply and purification. Nanomaterials are well suited for water purification,
disinfection and wastewater treatment applications as they have as large specific surface area,
high reactivity, high degree of functionalization, size dependent properties, affinity for
specific target contaminants, etc. Environmental science is moving at a rapid and drastic
pace toward a newer realm and a newer visionary future. Rigid environmental regulations
and zero-discharge norms has urged the scientific domain to devise new directions in novel
separation processes and advanced oxidation processes. History of environmental science,
scientific cognizance, and mankind’s prowess will all go a long way in evolving new
directions in the application of nanotechnology in drinking water treatment and industrial
wastewater treatment. Nanofiltration and membrane separation processes in its truest sense
is the only plausible solution to the varied problems of global drinking water crisis. In this
treatise, the author deals strongly with deep and cogent insight the varied application of
nanotechnology and nanofiltration in drinking water treatment. The author also delineates
the recent scientific endeavour in the field of nanofiltration and other environmental and
chemical separation processes with specific importance to water treatment. The path toward
progress in the field of drinking water treatment evolve into new scientific and technological
advancements. The author will also specifically deal with fouling phenomenon and the
concept of concentration boundary layer. Drinking water crisis can only be solved if the
scientific truth and scientific vision behind nanofiltration and other avenues of
nanotechnology are truly realized. The challenge and vision behind this treatise and the
immense urge to excel will surely open new dimensions of scientific understanding and
scientific adjudication in years to come.
