Abstract :

Nanotechnology penetrates in different area of chemical engineering. TiO2 nanoparticles are effective on many environmental pollutants and convert them to environmental biocompatible products. This product is affordable with maximum output and was used to remove of pollutant because of its recycling effect. Thus TiO2 was used as a suitable compound to removal of environmental pollutions such as organic toxic materials and microorganisms in wastewaters.
