Rapid growth in population,
industry, urbanization and intensive
agriculture have led to soil
and water pollution by various
contaminants. Nanoremediation
has become one of the most successful
emerging technologies for
cleaning up soil and water contaminants
due to the high
reactivity of nanomaterials (NMs).
Numerous publications are available
on the use of NMs for
removing contaminants, and the
efficiencies are often improved
by modifications of NMs with polymers, clay minerals, zeolites, activated carbon, and
biochar. This paper critically reviews the current state-of-the-art NMs used for sustainable
soil and water remediation, focusing on their applications in novel remedial
approaches, such as adsorption/filtration, catalysis, photodegradation, electro-nanoremediation,
and nano-bioremediation. Insights into process performances, modes
of deployment, potential environmental risks and their management, and the
consequent societal and economic implications of using NMs for soil and
water remediation indicate that widespread acceptance of nanoremediation technologies
requires not only a substantial advancement of the underpinning science and engineering aspects themselves, but also practical demonstrations of the effectiveness
of already recognized approaches at real world in-situ conditions. New
research involving green nanotechnology, nano-bioremediation, electro-nanoremediation,
risk assessment of NMs, and outreach activities are needed to achieve successful
applications of nanoremediation at regional and global scales.
