Abstract

The world of chemical process engineering, environmental engineering, nanotechnology, and material science is today in the path of newer reinventing and new scientific ingenuity. Human civilization, science, and technology are in the similar vein and are in the avenues of newer scientific regeneration. Consumer nanoproducts are today aligned to the science and engineering of nanotechnology. Rapid mass industrialization, burgeoning global population, and degradation of environment are urging and reiterating science and technology to move towards newer innovation and newer scientific instinct. In this chapter, the authors deeply elucidate on the application of consumer nanoproducts in the field of environmental pollution control. Application of nanotechnology, nanomaterials, and engineered nanomaterials in the vast field of water remediation are the other hallmarks of the chapter. Heavy metal contamination of groundwater is an immense environmental engineering and public health engineering globally. There is an immense need of groundwater and drinking water remediation in the global scientific landscape. Billions of people around the world are without pure drinking water and proper sanitation. The United Nations Sustainable Development goals thus comes into the picture. There should be a strong envisioning and reinventing of conventional and nonconventional environmental engineering tools if civilization wants to move forward. The authors deeply elucidate on these scientific and engineering techniques. Application of graphenes and other nanomaterials in the advancement of science and engineering of environmental protection will eventually widen man and mankind’s vision in the field of nanotechnology and nanoengineering. Scientific truth and deep scientific perseverance in the domain of nanomaterials and its environmental and ecological health effects will be the other areas of introspection in future. Drinking water treatment and industrial wastewater treatment in the similar premise and vision are in the middle of deep scientific comprehension. Provision of basic human needs such as water, food, habitat, sustainability, education, and energy will go a long and visionary way in the true realization of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The authors deeply target all these areas with scientific and engineering vision.
