Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The increasing industrial activities around the world have led to a significant rise in the generation of wastewater, posing a serious threat to the environment and public health. To address this challenge, the utilization of nanomaterials in wastewater treatment has emerged as a promising solution due to their unique properties and high efficiency. This thesis investigates the use of nanomaterials in wastewater treatment for industrial applications, focusing on their effectiveness, environmental impact, and practical implementation. The study begins with an introduction that highlights the background of the research, the problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, and the structure of the thesis. A comprehensive literature review in Chapter Two explores the existing knowledge on nanomaterials in wastewater treatment, covering topics such as types of nanomaterials, their properties, mechanisms of pollutant removal, and previous research findings. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology employed in this study, including the experimental design, materials used, data collection methods, and analytical techniques. The chapter also discusses the challenges faced during the research process and the strategies adopted to overcome them. The results and findings of the study are presented in Chapter Four, providing a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of nanomaterials in removing pollutants from industrial wastewater. The discussion in Chapter Four delves into the implications of the research findings, comparing them with existing literature and highlighting the practical applications of nanomaterials in industrial wastewater treatment. Moreover, the chapter explores the environmental implications and economic feasibility of utilizing nanomaterials in wastewater treatment processes. Finally, Chapter Five presents the conclusions drawn from the study, summarizing the key findings and their implications for industrial applications. The chapter also provides recommendations for future research directions in the field of nanomaterials for wastewater treatment. Overall, this thesis contributes to the understanding of the use of nanomaterials in wastewater treatment and provides valuable insights for addressing industrial wastewater challenges sustainably.
