<p>The development of novel methods for the purification of water quality, is a of the branches of materials science seeking solutions today, because this pollution in natural water resources, is to look for new alter-natives to molecules adsorption, filtration of suspended particles, and nanoexchange resins, among others. The development of this review aims to meet different materials used as well as new technologies applied to this field. From the study of the different treatments of filtration, purification wants to reach through a low cost and efficiencies of 100 % natural materials that do not require synthesis processes.</p>
