Abstract—Water scarcity and water pollution are core global environmental problems. This paper introduced the current water resource shortage and water environment problems worldwide, exploring various purification methods and water pollution treatment materials. Given such circumstances, purification technology is the primary way to address these two problems. The primary technical methods for water environmental pollution and the corresponding water purification materials were further delved into, with detailed introductions of adsorption, membrane separation, and precipitation technologies. Additionally, nanomaterials and activated carbon materials were discussed, identifying them as promising and worthy of further development for water purification in the future. The results of this research are of significant importance in providing foundational information for further future water purification research.
Keywords—water purification technology, purification materials, material modification, nana materials
