Industrial discharge, agricultural runoff, and inadequately treated municipal wastewater introduce heavy metals, organic pollutants, phosphates, and emerging contaminants into freshwater systems at rates that exceed natural removal capacity. The water treatment sector needs adsorbent materials that are effective, low-cost, and where possible derived from abundant, natural sources.</p> <p>Nanoclay — and its parent material, bentonite — checks all three boxes for a range of contaminants. It is not the most sophisticated water treatment technology available, but it is among the most practical, particularly in settings where complex engineered solutions are not economically or logistically feasible.</p>
