Abstract
Scarcity of fresh drinking water is a reality of today. Population growth, rapid industrialization and urbanization are responsible for water pollution. Removal of contaminants from waste water is become essential to control water pollution. Waste water contains heavy metals, pesticides, dyes in it. Clay based nanocomposites are found suitable for removal of both inorganic and organic toxic contaminants form waste water. This review will focus on different types of clay used for preparation of nano composites, different types of inorganic and organic pollutants which can be removed by these composites, mechanism of removal of pollutants, advantages and challenges of using clay based nano composites. Future scope of clay based nano composites in waste water treatment is also addressed in the paper.Keywords: Clay based nanocomposites, pollution, waste water, toxic contaminants.
