ABSTRACT

Water purification remains a critical global challenge due to increasing pollution and water scarcity. Advanced materials offer promising solutions to enhance water treatment technologies. This paper reviews the role of advanced materials, including nanomaterials, membrane materials, and adsorbent materials, in improving water purification processes. It discusses their classifications, innovative applications such as desalination and heavy metal removal, and the challenges and future directions in this field. The development of multi-functional, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable materials is essential for meeting the growing demand for clean water.

Keywords: Advanced materials, water purification, nanomaterials, membrane technology, adsorbents, desalination.
