Nanomaterial-Enabled Environmental Remediation and Removal of Emerging Pollutants

<p>Environmental pollution poses a threat to public health and the ecological environment. Fortunately the rapid development of nanotechnology has opened up new opportunities for more efficient and cost-effective pollution control and environmental remediation. A range of novel nanomaterials have been explored for the enhanced removal of various legacy and emerging pollutants via adsorption membrane separation catalytic oxidation/ reduction/hydrolysis photocatalysis etc. thereby contributing to global environmental protection and sustainable development. In fact the application of nanomaterials for pollution control and environmental remediation has emerged as one of the most active and productive research frontiers in the field of environmental science and engineering.</p><p>This Special Issue comprises two comprehensive reviews and eight original research articles with international authorship from six countries. These papers highlight recent progress in the development of nanomaterials including metal-based carbon-based and composite nanomaterials for the removal of both organic pollutants (e.g. pesticides dyes and formaldehyde) and heavy metals. The advances and insights presented herein will inspire further innovation and foster interdisciplinary collaboration ultimately contributing to safer more efficient and sustainable nanotechnology for environmental protection applications.</p>
