Nanotechnology in Water Treatment

When it comes to water filtration, the pores of a carbon nanotube structure let water molecules pass through while drawing bacteria to the carbon surface. In order to remove contaminants, manufacturers can shape CNTs into sheets or spirals that draw water via their honeycomb-like structures.In waters with low total dissolved solids, nanofiltration is a filtration method that uses a nanoporous membrane. Along with disinfecting it by keeping the organic stuff, the goal is to eliminate polyvalent ions.
