Plasmonic Nanoparticle-Enhanced Water Treatment: Revolutionary Approaches and Future Prospects   Introduction   The quest for clean and safe drinking water is as ancient as civilization itself, and it persists as one of the most pressing challenges worldwide. With increasing population, industrialization, and climate change exacerbating water scarcity and contamination, innovative approaches to water treatment are […]

Photocatalysis has emerged as a significant technique for wastewater treatment, exploiting the power of light to drive chemical reactions that decompose organic pollutants. This process relies on catalysts, typically semiconductors, to harness energy from light, initiating reactions that transform harmful contaminants into less hazardous substances. The technology addresses the increasing concerns over water pollution by […]

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) are a cornerstone technology in modern wastewater treatment methodologies. Characterized by the generation of highly reactive species, particularly hydroxyl radicals, AOPs are designed to address complex and otherwise persistent pollutants in wastewater streams. These reactive species can break down a diverse array of contaminants, from organic compounds to pathogens, thereby reducing […]
