This research carries out an exhaustive review of Nanotechnology, its industrial applications, particularly in the mining sector, and sustainable strategies for mitigating emerging pollutants in water. We will concentrate on experimental techniques and data reported in the updated literature. Among the essential nanomaterials are those based on carbon, metallic, based on silica, and iron oxide.

The most potential industrial applications within mining are detecting, not crunchable, arsenic removal, and water treatment. Currently, the solution is to use an electromagnet on conveyor belts, treat smelter dust through leaching, and filter contaminants through reverse osmosis. We can add that the nano solutions use a nanotechnological sensor that detects the not crunchable in real-time. We employ iron oxide nanoparticles to remove arsenic and nano-filters that remove heavy metals from water. We explore and elaborate carefully on the applications of nanotechnology techniques in the mining industry. It is necessary to deepen the research that allows measuring the degree of effectiveness. Finally, nanotechnology creates an opportunity to insert minerals that are not a priority in the market today.
