Abstract

Nanotechnology is an advanced method for the synthesis of nanoparticles having unique physicochemical properties. Adsorptive removal and photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants have emerged as energy- and cost-effective technologies. Both have attracted considerable attention to treat the world’s wastewater treatment. As a class of recently developed hybrid, nanoparticles have shown huge potential and bright perspective in adsorptive removal and photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutant. This chapter summarizes the current research progress on adsorptive and photocatalytic removal of organic pollutant. Possible interactions between the pollutants and active sites on the nanoparticles are discussed to understand the adsorption/photocatalysis mechanism. The outlooks on adsorptive removal and photocatalytic degradation of pollutant using nanoparticles are given, albeit often with barriers as addressed. The integration of adsorption and photocatalysis using nanoparticles is discussed.
