ABSTRACT
Any Material, having structure in nanometer scale with at least one dimension is recognized as Nanomaterial (NM). These
Nanomaterial (NMs) have vast variations in their elemental composition; which may be formed by single element viz. Gold, Silver,
Iron, Carbon etc. or by the combination with Oxygen or Sulphur as Oxides & Sulphides viz. Iron oxide (Fe 2O3), Copper Oxide
(CuO) or Cadmium Sulphide(CdS),etc. Among the single elemental forms, the Carbonaceous Nanomaterials(CNMs) are identified
as nanosized allotropic forms of Carbon having different structures like Nano rods, Nano tubes, Nano ring, Nano sphere, and
Nano sheets mostly with sp2 carbon atoms. In past decades, Carbonaceous Nanomaterials(CNMs) have gain interest of researchers
due to their biocompatibility, non-toxicity and unique surface to volume properties, etc. their easy tunable features are found
advantageous for their utilization in wide range of applications. Further, owing to their specific mechanical strength, conductivity,
surface activity and many more beneficial features, they have vast range of applicability in electronic, biomedical, energy storage &
conversion, catalysis and remediation of environmental pollution. Present paper briefly describes about the types of Carbonaceous
Nanomaterials (CNMs) with emphasizing their use in the remediation of Water Pollution. With the growing development of
Nanotechnologies, use of CNMs may play a significant role in remediation of Water Pollution.

On the basis of the fundamental structure, shape and
dimension classification of Carbonaceous Nanomaterials
(CNMs) is briefly discussed with giving brief emphasis on
mechanism of action and some applications of CNMs in
water pollution remediation. We hope that it can be 21. Agnihotri S, Mota JPB, Rostam-Abadi M, Rood MJ. (2005)
