Advances in application of nanomaterials in remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil

Abstract

Soil heavy metal pollution has become an environmental problem that has attracted worldwide attention. Nanomaterials have the advantages of large specific surface area, strong adsorption capacity and high reactivity, making nanomaterials remediation technology an excellent application prospect in contaminated soil remediation. This article introduces the main classification of nanomaterials, summarizes the mechanism of nanomaterials to remove heavy metals, and the combination technology of nanomaterials. It provides a scientific reference for the further development of this field.
