Abstract

The usage of nanocomposites has grown significantly in recent years, due to their exceptionally tiny size and high surface area, which contribute to their mechanical and physiochemical properties with respect to bulk materials of equal chemical composition. Nanomaterials are often synthesized by a combination of physical, chemical, and biological methods. Among them, plant mediated synthesis offers unique properties such as sustainability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and also many new functionalities in an environmentally friendly manner. Currently, environmental pollution remains a serious global problem that is inextricably associated with various types of anthropogenic activities. Water quality in the modern world is substantially harmed by numerous pollutants and toxins from diverse sources and it can be overcome by the plant-derived nanocomposites as it provides an efficient and cost-effective solution in preventing further pollution and in improving the quality of the water. Thus, this chapter mainly summarizes the purification and remediation of contaminated water with the aid of various plant-derived nanocomposites.
