    Micro/Nanotechnology for

    waste management
    INTRODUCTION

    Nanotechnology
    • Nanotechnology is the branch of.
    science devoted to designing,
    producing devices and systems by
    manipulating atoms and molecules
    at nanoscale.
    • Materials at nanoscale: 1 to 100
    nanometers.

    Microfluidics
    • Microfluidics is a fluid handling
    technique which takes place inside
    micro-channels or pathways using
    nano/microliter volumes. It has
    been used in many applications
    particularly in miniaturizing
    laboratory processes and
    procedures.
    Micro/Nanotechnology for waste management

    •Waste is an unavoidable by-


    product of numerous human
    activities .Various
    components of waste cause
    health and environmental
    problems so it is required to
    control waste.
    •There are several
    technologies/nano materials
    developed for waste
    management.
    •eg. - Nano filters, nano
    catalyst ,nano sensors etc.

    Importance Of
    Nano In Waste Management

    Various types of dangerous organic and


    inorganic pollutants are entered into the
    water, soil, and air by industrial and urban
    waste. It is impossible to remove these
    pollutants simply by existing technologies.
    Therefore, employing modern technologies
    such as nanotechnology could have an
    important role in solving this problem.

    APPLICATIONS

    Nano Filters In Waste


    Management
    Toxic and nonbiodegradable materials (arsenic, xenobiotic
    organic compounds, ammonia, inorganic macro components,
    heavy metals, etc.) in wastes and their leachate have caused
    that common biological and physicochemical methods cannot
    eliminate them at environmental standards.. Nanofiltration has
    been considered in waste treatment without any need for
    chemicals that produced waste is concentrated and intensive,
    reducing its transportation and disposal cost.
    NANO PHOTOCATALYST

    Titanium dioxide has almost all the


    characteristics of an ideal photocatalyst.
    Titanium dioxide produces free radicals
    in the presence of the three elements of
    water, oxygen, UV radiation that these
    radicals can breakdown various harmful
    compounds into lower toxic carbon
    compounds .Having higher surface to
    volume ratio, titanium dioxide
    nanoparticles show more desirable
    photocatalytic properties compared to
    larger particles.
    NANO SENSORS

    Nano sensors are very small tools that can detect and respond
    to stimulants at the scale of one nanometer . Sensors
    produced at the nanoscale dimensions have extraordinary
    sensitivity, and they have selective function . One application
    of nano sensors is controlling the unpleasant odor of water
    after treatment. Many compounds have been identified in
    odors resulting from wastewater treatment, including reduced
    compounds of sulfur or nitrogen, organic acids, aldehydes, or
    ketones.
    CONCLUSIONS

    At the nanoscale, material properties are


    subject to many changes. This has
    advantages that can lead to good results,
    including the development of compatibility
    with the environment.
    Considering the advantages and various
    applications of nanotechnology, it can be
    used in global plans in various
    environmental areas such as controlling
    and reducing air pollution, combating with
    water shortage problems, management of
    wastes, and other cases as modern science.
    On the other hand, change in the properties
    at nanoscale faces the prediction and
    identification of safety and environmental
    risks with challenges. Therefore, in using
    the nanotechnology, its possible risks
    should be considered.
