Advanced Materials and Methods for Water Treatment

Contents: Preface Introduction and Overview of Current Water Treatment Technologies Advances in Water Recycling and Resource Reclamation Membrane Processes: Advances in Novel Membranes Advances in Forward Osmosis: An Alternative Membrane Process Advances in Functional Polymer Materials for Water Treatment Applications Advances in Ultra-porous Filters for Water Treatment Advances in Block Copolymer-based Membranes Recent Advances in Nanotechnology-based Water Filtration Index. Demand for safe and clean water is ever increasing and on the other hand, efforts to recover wasted resources particularly water are also gaining significant importance. Researchers, scientists, innovators, and policymakers throughout the world are investing their time and efforts to build effective and sustainable infrastructure to manage and recover resources from discarded wastes of various states and nature. This book would serve as a guide to researchers, technologists, policymakers as well as students on the various materials stock and methods developed in recent years to address complex pollutants that are difficult to treat or remove with conventional as well as existing water treatment methods. This book will be a guide to the early career researchers, scholars and research & development teams both at academic and industrial levels.…
