Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Nanotechnology has emerged as an alternative to conventional water treatment methods that involve high costs and processes. Nanomaterials offer great potential for cleaning wastewater. Various nanomaterials have shown the potential to remove pollutants such as organic and inorganic content, and toxic heavy metal ions from wastewater. Nanoparticles with nanofibers and carbon nanotubes form an important part of ultrafiltration membrane, osmosis, sorption, advanced oxidation process, water remediation as well as disinfection processes. The rate of removal of contaminants from wastewater depends upon the physical and chemical characteristics of the nanomaterial, the contaminant, and wastewater
