Treating the wastewater with high level of urea and ammonia-nitrogen is one of the problems faced by different plants in the world. The basic methods of urea removal of wastewater streams are electrochemical oxidation, biological treatment, adsorption and hydrolysis using thermal treatment or enzymes and decomposition with the aid of catalyst, strong oxidant. This work reviewed recent of different nanosized and nanostructured particles in different techniques for urea removal from wastewater and the challenges for treatments to draw the attention of researchers and scientists toward novel research ideas in this area.
