Application of Silver-Doped Nanomaterials for Wastewater Treatment

Every living thing is strongly dependent on water to survive. A lack of water can lead to a wide range of problems. Without water, humankind may have a tough time surviving. The water supplies used by industries should be protected and treated in a variety of right ways in order to save, conserve, and protect the water supply. Treating wastewater is one of the most cost-effective and convenient ways to overcome water scarcity. Depending on the treatment system, water can be treated differently physically, chemically, biologically, or in combination. Nanotechnology in these systems allows wastewater treatment to be carried out at a significantly higher quality level than conventional systems, and most of their limitations can be solved. Nanomembranes used in membrane bioreactor technology are among the best and most effective technologies currently available for water treatment because they are both appropriate and efficient. They can be applied to put off water shortages for several more years. Silver-doped nanoparticles have many properties, including antimicrobial, antibacterial, disinfectant, and many more. This chapter aims to present an in-depth analysis of the potential and efficacy of silver-doped nanoparticles for wastewater treatment.
