The challenges and the vision of carbon nanocomposite applications in environmental remedi- ation are today in the path of scientific regeneration. This well-researched treatise is a veritable eye-opener towards the scientific marvels, the tech- nological provenance, and ingenuity in the field of composite science and environmental remediation [9]. The science of sustainability as regards to environment assumes immense importance today around the world, thus the need of a deep investigation into the application of sustainability [9].
Rapid increase in population, urbanization, and industrialization in the past few decades have led to emerging environmental problems. Human civilization’s immense scientific prowess at a dismal state. In the similar vein, environmental engineering science, chemical process engineering, and nanotechnology are in a state of deep scientific distress and scientific impasse. The presence of nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and ozone seri- ously affects people deeply suffering from asthma. Further to that, arsenic in drinking water can seriously affect human health as it can cause bladder, skin, and lung cancer, as well as kidney and liver cancer [9]. Here comes the vital scientific understanding in the field of anthropogenic pollution:
• Industrial wastewater that vary in terms of composition.
• Municipal wastewater.
• Wastewater from agricultural and livestock activities.
• Toxic compounds such as carbon monoxide, ozone, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides [9].
In such a catastrophic situation, the application of nanocomposites, composite science, and nanotechnology assumes immense importance.
Generally, nanocomposites are a class of materials in which one or more
phases with nanoscale dimensions (0-D, 1-D, 2-D) are veritably embedded in a metal, ceramic, or polymer matrix [9]. The cornerstone of the paper is the use of nanocomposites for adsorption of pollutants. Adsorption tech- niques are widely used in gas and water/wastewater purification as one of the effective way for environmental remediation. Scientific and technologi- cal prowess and validation, the futuristic vision of environmental engineer- ing science and nanotechnology, and the visionary needs of human society will all lead a long and effective way in the true emancipation of science and engineering globally [9]. Inorganic particles such as metal hydrox- ides have been employed effectively as environmentally benign adsorbents for the removal of some recalcitrant pollutants. Magnetic nanoparticles offer a number of advantages over non-magnetic nanoparticles because they can be easily separated from the solution using a magnetic field [9].
Technological and scientific validation are the veritable imperatives of research and development forays in nanomaterials and engineered nano- materials today. This well-researched treatise opens up newer windows of innovation and scientific instinct in the field of nanocomposites and nano- technology in years to come [9].
