ABSTRACT The reuse of wastewater has become a common need even as a source of drinking water, but unfortunately collection and treatment systems and water supply have not been designed to meet this imperative need. Moreover, in developed countries there is a need to produce higher quality water with lower energy consumption and cost. In the past few years wastewater has been considered as source of water rather than as a pollution problem. This is from the one side due to the increased need for water of inferior quality in urban and industrial centres, and from the other side due to the need of achieving more efficient wastewater treatment prior to disposal and reuse. During planning and application of wastewater treatment systems, the types of re-use determine the required degree of treatment as well as the degree of reliability of treatment methods. The present study is focused on the usage of the technologies of membranes and photocatalysis with the additional use of nanomaterials for water treatment, as they were developed in the early 21st century. These technologies are effective, but more study is needed on the effects of nanomaterial release in water supplies. |
