» Introduction
High demand of water due to increase in population
High amount of wastewater is generated
The wastewater contains micro-organisms, organics, metals and toxicants
Metals (copper here) are highly carcinogenic
Metals cannot be decomposed or bio-degraded
They have to be removed during treatment
» Removal of copper
Precipitation
Flotation
Ion Exchange
Electrocoagulation
Adsorption
Adsorption is widely used for the removal of metals because of its simplicity
and effective cost
» Nanoparticles
The most common adsorbent (nowadays) are nanoparticles
Nanoparticles are particles with size less than 100nm
The advantages of using nanoparticles as adsorbent are High surface area in low volume
Magnetic characteristics
Low cost
Effective contaminant removal even at low concentrations
Less waste generation post-treatment

» Future research
Non corrosive nanoparticles should be more used
Reaction by-products should be minimised
