Abstract

Components are separated from liquid or gaseous media with the aid of a nanocomposite comprising nanoparticles in a matrix, wherein the liquid or gaseous medium is brought into contact with the nanocomposite in such a way that at least part of the components to be separated off is bound to the nanocomposite and the resulting laden nanocomposite is separated from the liquid or gaseous medium.
