Abstract
Due to water scarcity and the growing disputes over this vital supply, alternatives for the decontamination and reuse of water are among the most requested technologies to solve those problems. Nanotechnology can significantly contribute to the evolution of these devices since nanoscale materials have mechanical, catalytic, even antimicrobial properties that increase the effectiveness of decontamination, filtration and desalination processes, which will be addressed in this article.
