This research investigates the transformative potential of nanotechnology in tending to water refinement challenges and advancing natural supportability. Carbon nanotubes and graphene were synthesized and joined into nanostructured channels, showing a well-defined arrangement with predominant basic keenness affirmed through SEM and XRD investigations. In comprehensive water decontamination tests, these channels showcased momentous efficiencies: overwhelming metals, such as lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), were expelled at rates outperforming 98% and 97%, individually; natural poison methylene blue displayed an amazing evacuation productivity surpassing 99.5%; microbial contaminant Escherichia coli was successfully killed, accomplishing a momentous expulsion effectiveness of 99.9%. Comparative investigations with related studies underscored the competitive or prevalent execution of the nanostructured channels. Additionally, a life cycle appraisal (LCA) highlighted the commitment to natural maintainability, uncovering generally moo nursery gas outflows (450 kg CO2e), vitality utilization (550 MJ), and asset consumption (10 kg) related to the filters’ whole life cycle. The inventive integration of nanotechnology into water treatment techniques exhibits the potential for effective, feasible, and intriguing approaches, laying the establishment for the advancement of progressed innovations fundamental for worldwide water resource conservation.
