Removal of the nanoparticles from liquid effluents

It would be naive to imagine that the emerging nanomaterials industry will not leave unforeseen and undesirable traces on our environment. To minimize these impacts environmental engineers and scientists should be actively engaged in ensuring that this industry is conceived from the outset as a system with global consequences that begin at the molecular scale (Wiesner and Bottero 2007). This work focuses on how to remove nanoparticles from water.
