These bubbles are so small (<strong>less than 200 nanometers in diameter<\/strong>) that they are invisible to the naked eye.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Working: <\/strong>Unlike regular bubbles that rise to the surface and pop, nanobubbles remain suspended in the water for a long time. This allows them to interact with pollutants and break them down.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nanobubbles have a strong negative charge, which helps them attract and break down impurities in the water. They can remove algae, organic waste, and even oil and grease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nanobubbles can also increase the amount of oxygen dissolved in the water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advantages over Traditional Methods<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chemical-free approach to water purification, making it environmentally friendly and safe for aquatic life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nanobubble technology can be more energy-efficient, reducing operational costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It can be applied to various water bodies, including lakes, ponds, aquariums, and even wastewater treatment plants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Applications beyond Water Purification<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nanobubbles can enhance plant growth by improving oxygen delivery to roots and increasing nutrient uptake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There&#8217;s growing research on using nanobubbles for drug delivery, medical imaging, and even cancer treatment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Applications include cleaning industrial equipment, improving fermentation processes, and enhancing oil recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-dominant-color=\"d3e1e5\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-images.nextias.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/format=auto\/ca\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Applications-beyond-Water-Purification-1024x578.png\" alt=\"Applications beyond Water Purification\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-33177\" style=\"--dominant-color: #d3e1e5; width:484px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp-images.nextias.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/format=auto\/ca\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Applications-beyond-Water-Purification-1024x578.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp-images.nextias.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/format=auto\/ca\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Applications-beyond-Water-Purification-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/wp-images.nextias.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/format=auto\/ca\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Applications-beyond-Water-Purification-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/wp-images.nextias.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/format=auto\/ca\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Applications-beyond-Water-Purification.png 1333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Source: PIB<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nano Bubble Technology was launched by the Union Minister of State for Forest, Environment, and Climate Change at the National Zoological Park, Delhi, offering a groundbreaking approach to water purification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-affairs"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nextias.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nextias.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nextias.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nextias.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nextias.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33176"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.nextias.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33176\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33178,"href":"https:\/\/www.nextias.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33176\/revisions\/33178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nextias.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nextias.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33176"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nextias.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
