dc.description.abstractNanomaterials have recently gained the attention of the scientific community due to their multifarious applications and excellent properties. The unique properties of nanomaterials include small size, high surface area-to-volume ratio, porous structure, magnetic behavior, thermal stability, photocatalysis, etc. Industrial activities are continuously enhancing the pollutant load in different environmental matrices, including aqueous systems. These pollutants may enter the food chain and exert adverse health effects and environmental problems. At this stage, interventions are urgently required to handle water pollutants. Several hybrid nanomaterials including metal oxide/carbon nanocomposites, metal doped composites, surface-functionalized carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide, metal oxide-coated metal oxide frameworks, bimetallic coated biopolymers, metal-coated biomaterials, green fabricated metal/carbon nanocomposites, etc., are being designed and fabricated for the treatment of wastewater. Hybrid nanomaterials have been utilized in various treatment methods such as adsorption, photocatalysis and catalytic reduction, membrane filtration, and an advanced oxidation process for the removal of inorganic and organic compounds. This chapter focuses on the application of hybrid nanomaterials for the removal of organic pollutants from wastewater systems. It also describes the current research progress of nanotechnology in environmental applications with a special emphasis on pollution prevention and the removal of environmental contaminants from contaminated drinking water and industrial wastewater. � 2023 Elsevier Inc.
