Abstract

In this keynote address today, I wish to share with you and exchange some ideas in a very important engineering area nowadays, from industrial, research and academic point of view, namely ultraprecision advanced manufacturing and nanotechnology [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6].

Advanced manufacturing

  • 1.

    Nanotechnology and the tendency to miniaturization in the manufacturing industry are familiar to most people employed in the microelectronics and computer industry. Nevertheless, nanotechnology has already been introduced into other scientific and technological areas as well, like robotics, biology and medicine, fiber optic communication networks, aerospace technology, advanced materials technology, chemical engineering and precision manufacturing. Two interlinked trends are involved, the trend

    Researchers have discovered effective adsorbents in the form of nanoscale materials, which have been observed as essential materials for the removal of dyes, heavy metals, organic compounds, etc. from wastewater [68,118,132,133]. Indeed, these nanomaterials have versatile properties due to their small size and large surface-to-volume ratio [134]. Recently, nanomaterials, nano adsorbents or nanoparticles have shown successful applications in many fields, especially in the removal of metallic pollutants from industrial wastewater [97,118,133].

    Fig. 4 highlights the different types of nano-adsorbents that are used for remediation and removal of contaminants with each nano-material subsequently discussed in detail as pertaining to the removal of dyes in aqueous media. Nano-particles are materials at nanoscale due to their small size possesses have a large surface area to volume ratio [80], which improves adsorption capacity. In addition, these particles exhibit unique physical and chemical characteristics such as catalytic potential and high chemical reactivity, conductivity, magnetic and optical properties.
