dc.description.abstractThe increasing demand to provide clean water for drinking has brought to the fore the importance of seeking other materials with the ability or combined effect with other materials to purify water. Clay ceramics are known to be natural and also easily engineered porous-structured materials. Review papers on water filtration over the last decade have been on specific mechanisms or technologies. This review paper presents a single platform which provides information encapsulating all these technologies. This paper highlights water contaminants, and their various treatment technologies. The effectiveness of these technologies are evaluated via scholarly documented peer-reviewed papers. Moreover, the discussions are interspersed with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) standard for various contaminants along with the exploration of the efficiency of clay minerals as potent water filtration material. Finally, current trends in application of nanotechnology in water purification systems are also highlighted. These technologies include adsorption, microbial disinfection, and photocatalysis.en_US
