Abstract : The integration of nanoclay with water hyacinth has emerged as a promising strategy for addressing contemporary challenges in water remediation and biofuel production. The complex interrelationship between these two materials and their possible effects on sustainable development are thoroughly examined in this chapter. Nanoclay, possessing exceptional surface area and sorption properties, enhances water hyacinth’s natural pollutant adsorption capacity, thereby improving water quality. Simultaneously, nanoclay-modified biomass offers the potential to optimize biofuel yield through altered composition and enhanced energy content. The review underscores the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration, scalability considerations, and ecological assessments in realizing the transformative potential of this synergy. Further research is required to optimize interactions, bridge the gap between laboratory findings and practical implementation, and establish regulatory frameworks for safe deployment. By unlocking the full potential of nanoclay-enhanced water hyacinth systems, this innovative approach offers a holistic solution to water pollution and renewable energy challenges, shaping a more sustainable future.
