GELOVER SANTIAGO, Silvia Lucila. Nanotecnología, una alternativa para mejorar la calidad del agua. Mundo nano [online]. 2015, vol.8, n.14, pp.40-52.  Epub May 28, 2021. ISSN 2448-5691.  https://doi.org/10.22201/ceiich.24485691e.2015.14.52511.

Curiosity, creativity and human wit, characteristics of mankind, find a paradise exploring unimaginable worlds, as is the nanoworld. Microscopic sizes, shapes and especially exotic phenomena and mechanisms that only happen at this level constitute a universe that offers new possibilities for the application of nanomaterials as alternative solutions to pollution problems that we face daily. This article presents a vision of the possibilities of application of nanomaterials as an alternative to improve water quality, especially when organic and microbiological contaminants are present.

Keywords : Nanocatalysts; TiO_₂; solar photocatalysis; nanomaterials water treatment; photocatalytic disinfection.
