Nanotechnology is often described as an emerging technology that not only holds promise for society, but also is capable of revolutionizing our approaches to common problems. Nanotechnology plays an important role in the development of new methods, tools and techniques to solve specific quantitative and qualitative environmental problems by developing various types of nanoparticles that employed in different areas of chemical engineering. Carbon nanotubes and graphene as nano-materials, own inimitable properties that have led to the making of stronger, lighter, and more robust materials for the industrial applications.  Sustainable development in chemical engineering comprises the application of principles, practices, and knowledge that object to minimalize the environmental influence, improve the utilization of resources, and confirm the continuing feasibility of chemical processes and products.
