Advanced Low-Cost Separation Techniques in Interface Science

Advanced Low-Cost Separation Techniques in Interface Science, Volume 30 helps scientists and researchers in academia and industry gain expert knowledge on how to use separation techniques at minimal cost and energy usage. It handles a broad range of highly relevant topics, including modern flotation techniques, low-cost materials in liquid-and gas-phase adsorption, new trends in molecular imprinting, graphenes in separation, nanobubbles and biopolymers in interface science, the reuse of biomaterials, green techniques for wastewaters, and modeling in environmental interfaces. The book shows that these techniques can be both attractive for both research and industrial purposes.

It is intended for chemical engineers working in wastewater treatment industries, membrane industries, pharmaceutical industries, textile or tanneries industries, hybrid-topic industries and energy industries.

• Focuses on cost and energy saving separation techniques in interface science
• Discusses multiple techniques, including flotation, adsorption, materials synthesis, and more
• Combines, in a single source, separation techniques, advanced methodologies, and the low-cost potential of the techniques
• Describes techniques that are attractive for both research and industrial purposes

George Z. Kyzas is a Full Professor of Chemistry at the Democritus University of Thrace, Greece. He has served as Head of the Department of Chemistry since 2019, Director of the MSc Program in Cosmetic Chemistry since 2021, and Head of the Hephaestus Laboratory since 2023. His research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of advanced materials, including polymers, graphene-based materials, activated carbons, and nanomaterials, for environmental applications such as adsorption, photocatalysis, and wastewater treatment. He has authored numerous books and book chapters, holds several patents, and serves as an Editor of Environmental Science and Pollution Research. In addition, he has guest-edited multiple special issues and served as an assessor for national and international funding agencies. His contributions have been recognized through awards and scholarships from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the Greek State Scholarship Foundation, and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
