Advanced Materials for Pollution Control that Integrate Engineering Science with Environmental Conservation
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Advanced materials open wide avenues toward solving one of the most serious problems facing the world due to pollution by bridging the gap between engineering science and the protection of the envi-ronment. This review covers the synthesis and applications of novel materials for the reduction of all kinds of pollution-air, water, or soil contamination. The work reviewed some of the latest developed materials, such as nanomaterials, metal-organic frameworks, and catalytic compounds on their effi-ciency in the detection, capture, and degradation of pollutants. Case studies on air filtration systems, water purification technologies, and soil remediation efforts are scrutinised to show the true value of such materials in realistic applications. The article also goes on to discuss how the integration of these kinds of advanced materials into engineering practices can enhance the efficiency of the relevant pol-lution control systems while minimizing environmental footprints. This review is intended to provide a perspective on the future of sustainable technologies for pollution control, drawing inspiration from material science to environmental engineering. These findings necessitate further interdisciplinary re-search efforts because of pressing ecological crises for elaborating environmentally friendly engineer-ing approaches.
