Access to safe water has a significant impact on all parts of society, its growth and sustainability, both politically and socioeconomically. Consequently, the preservation of water and wastewater treatment have become a global challenge. A major contributor to water pollution is improperly or untreated industrial emissions; water resources can be contaminated with harmful pollutants, toxins or pathogenic microorganisms. Carbon's unique chemistry and its evolution due to recent advances in carbon-based technologies such as nanomaterials, offer significant potential for a variety of water purification strategies. This work details the application of carbon materials in combination with nanotechnology in the form of graphene, graphene composites, electrospun membranes and improved activated carbon in a myriad of water treatment systems with an emphasis on the removal of heavy metals, pesticides and harmful bacteria.
安全用水对社会的各个方面，包括政治和社会经济方面的增长和可持续性都有重大影响。因此，保护水资源和废水处理已成为全球性挑战。工业排放物处理不当或未经处理是水污染的一个主要原因；水资源可能会被有害污染物、毒素或致病微生物所污染。碳的独特化学性质以及由于碳基技术（如纳米材料）的最新进展而导致的演变，为各种水净化策略提供了巨大的潜力。这项工作详细介绍了碳材料在纳米技术中的应用形式，包括石墨烯、石墨烯复合材料、静电纺丝膜和改良的活性炭，这些都应用于各种水处理系统中，重点是去除重金属、农药和有害细菌。
