Abstract: Water despite being an indispensable part of human life is facing a major problem of being contaminated worldwide. There are several contaminants present in sewage and industrial effluents being discharged into water bodies making them unfit for drinking. This review explains the various claims of nanomaterial in removing contaminants from polluted water. Due to the unique properties of being nano-scale sized, high reactivity, and nanomaterial have been the major subject of research and development for the last decade. Studies have shown that nanomaterials are highly effective and successfully applied in removing contaminants from wastewater. Due to their exceptional properties of having a larger surface area, and being able to act at very low concentrations, nanomaterials have enormous possibilities to treat wastewater containing metallic & non-metallic substances, different organic and inorganic impurities, etc. Still, there are many challenges and issues with wastewater treatment. This paper discusses the various nanomaterials and the treatment methods using nanomaterials which are flexible, cost-effective, and efficient for the commercialization also.
