Abstract
- Advancements in water purification techniques are an important area of research nowadays owing to the swiftly growing demand for fresh water. The demand for fresh water is going to grow further in the coming decades, hence the need for cost effective, environmentally friendly techniques for water purification. Current technologies include membrane processes ranging from reverse osmosis, membrane distillation, pervoparation, etc., for drinking water management. The current polymer membranes being used in water purification techniques have several disadvantages related to their mechanical and thermal stability. This article brings together the current applications of carbon-based nanomaterials in water purification techniques owing to their exceptional mechanical, thermal, and antibacterial properties, and high thermal stability.
