In recent years, nanomaterials have come to have strong participation in various areas of society, and with that science and technology have started to invest in this field, providing a strong expansion of nanoscience (Singh et al. 2021, Nayak et al. 2021). Due to the improvement in synthesis and manipulation, new compounds have emerged with diameters and dimensions that are favorable for certain purposes, an example of which is nanoparticles (Auffan et al. 2009, Mercante et al. 2021). Because they have specific characteristics, these materials can be used for different purposes, including wastewater treatment (Patel et al. 2022). Studies have already proven the high efficiency of nanoparticles based on nanofibers and carbon nanotubes in the treatment of several emerging contaminants (Brescia 2022). © 2024 Jayanta Kumar Biswas and Mahendra Rai.
