Hanumant Singh

Abstract

The escalating presence of emerging contaminants in water reservoirs necessitates innovative and sustainable approaches for effective remediation. This research explores the synthesis of nanomaterials with enhanced efficiency in the removal of these contaminants. Employing a green synthesis methodology, the study focuses on minimizing environmental impact throughout nanomaterial production. Characterization techniques including X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy validate the successful fabrication of unique nanomaterials. Experimental evaluations demonstrate the exceptional contaminant adsorption capacity of the synthesized nanomaterials, outperforming conventional purification methods. The study elucidates the underlying mechanisms governing the contaminant nanomaterial interactions, shedding light on the intricate processes contributing to enhanced removal efficacy. Comparisons with existing purification technologies underscore the distinctive advantages of the green-synthesized nanomaterials. This research unveils a promising avenue for sustainable water purification, addressing the pressing challenges posed by emerging contaminants. The outcomes provide a robust scientific foundation for the integration of environmentally benign nanomaterials in water treatment strategies, fostering a paradigm shift toward ecologically responsible remediation technologies.
