Nanocomposite membrane for environmental remediation 431

in both detection and treatment of pollutants. In contrary to the water purification,
nanocomposite membrane, owing to some limitations, has not ascended significant
interest for industrial investment. To move toward industrialization, shortcomings
of low wettability and inadequate nanoscale selectivity should be avoided. Conse-
quently, nanocomposite approach could be the best solution.
