Abstract
In recent decades, nanomaterials have been intensively studied for water decontamination, especially for contaminants of emerging concern. Details are provided on a series of engineered nanomaterials for water decontamination by the mechanisms of adsorption, heterogeneous oxidation, and reduction. The degradation, mineralization, and detoxification of various organic contaminants and removal of several inorganic pollutants in aqueous environment by nanomaterials, evaluation of the feasibility of applying nanotechnologies in water industry are also discussed.
