Nanomaterials showed many advantages, such as faster reaction, higher mobility, and easier functionalization. However, there are still big gaps between laboratory studies and practical field applications due to difficulties in separation after use. Designing nano-composite materials, which contain nanomaterials in/on supporting materials, could be an answer to solve the issue without altering the inherent physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials. In this study, several examples of making nano-composite materials and applying them to environmental remediation will be introduced. It includes nanoscale zero-valent iron immobilized in granular activated carbon for groundwater remediation, disulfide organic polymer immobilized on the polymeric filter for road run-off filtration, and Prussian blue immobilized sponge for radioactive cesium adsorption. |
