Nanoplastics in water and wastewater: remediation technologies, challenges, and future perspectives

Interactions Between Micro- and Nano plastics and Engineered Nanoparticles in Wastewater and Receiving Environments: Implications for Treatment Performance, Transport Pathways, and Ecotoxicity

Microplastics (MPs), nanoplastics (NPs), and engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) are increasingly recognized as interconnected contaminants in wastewater treatment systems and receiving environments. This review examines their occurrence, interactions, treatment performance, transport pathways, persistence, and ecotoxicolo...

The Synergy of Adsorption and Advanced Oxidation for Enhanced Microplastic Abatement in Water

Emerging contaminants in water pathways: sources, impacts, conventional, and cold-plasma-based cleaner technology assessment

Speciation- and Matrix-Controlled Removal of Antimony from Water: A Review of Treatment Technologies

Antimony (Sb) contamination in groundwater, drinking water, and industrial wastewater is of growing concern because its mobility, toxicity, and treatability depend strongly on oxidation state and water chemistry. This review examines Sb occurrence and aqueous speciation, the effects of water-matrix constituents, and th...

Nanomaterial-based remediation of industrial wastewater: trends, mechanisms, and challenges in heavy metal removal

Heavy metal ions are ubiquitous in water resources, toxic, and tend to bioaccumulate. Therefore, they represent a serious threat to the environment and to human health. The use of conventional treatment processes such as coagulation-flocculation, membrane separation, chemical precipitation and ion exchange processes ha...

Nanotechnology in Wastewater Treatment: Evolution and Environmental Impact

Access to clean and safe water is a major global challenge due to population growth, industrialization, and increasing environmental pollution. Conventional filtration, sedimentation, and biological treatments have been widely used to improve water quality. However, these methods are often ineffective in removing emerg...
