Application and Research Progress of Nanomaterials as Adsorbents in Environment Field

Nanoscale materials represent a new class of materials with extremely broad application prospects. Their development and utilization are intricately intertwined with societal progress. Nanomaterial adsorbents possess distinctive attributes, including a large specific surface area, a quantum size effect, and special surface properties. Therefore, it exhibits excellent adsorption performance. Compared with other traditional adsorbents, the application prospects of nanomaterial adsorbents in the environmental field are more attractive. This chapter elucidates the types, synthesis and, characterization of nanomaterial adsorbents according to their properties. Combined with the application of relevant examples in the environment, the corresponding nanoscale adsorbents are briefly introduced. Furthermore, the application of nanomaterial adsorbents in environment treatment was prospected.
