The treatment proposed to reach a ratio of average More than 2,000,000 tons of silica nanoparticles diameters dFloc/dNP of 3500, and therefore it (NPs) are produced annually in the world to facilitates the elimination of these NPs agglo- cover the needs of nanotechnologies. Inevitably, merated by filtration a quantity of NPs, will be in industrial discharges and domestic, or even in water resources.

To preserve public health and the environment from this pollution, it is nec- 1. INTRODUCTION essary to remedy the potential pollution. In this The current surge in nanotechnologies has been made context, the main motivation of this work is to possible by recent technological progress. They are al- answer this environmental issue by proposing a ready widely used in industry to synthesize new products scheme of remediation based on the use of
