Abstract
Over the years, new tools and techniques for treating hazardous leachate water.From biological treatment methods to physical/chemical techniques for
treating leachate to acceptable standards. The fast and rapid growth of the nanotechnological sector has shown promise in its application for environmental
remediation and by extension leachate treatment. Regardless of these met progress in technological approaches to treating leachate, there still remains the
need for universal and economically scalable methods for leachate treatment. This paper covers the various leachate treatment methods with emphasis on
the application of nanotechnology/nanomaterials in past research in this regard as well as some setbacks the leachate treating method has seen.
