Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Science : Applications of Advanced Nanostructured Materials in Wastewater Remediation

Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Science: Applications of Advanced Nanostructured Materials in Wastewater Remediation reviews recent applications of nanostructured materials for remediation, their preparation, characterization and efficiency for water remediation technologies. The book provides ideas on how nanomaterials are the real solution to water purification or new environmental threat. Sections cover nanomaterial adsorbents, functionalized magnetic nanomaterials, nanostructured polymer hydrogels, carbon nanomaterials, biogenic nanoparticles, green chemistry concepts, aqua defluoridation and advanced remediation techniques.

The book also includes the current status of wastewater treatment using nanomaterials, along with challenges and perspectives for further improvements.

• Provides an overview of the application of nanomaterials for wastewater remediation
• Targets the applications of nanomaterials in the environment
• Focuses on usage of polymeric nanocomposites, graphene-based composites, and magnetite nanoparticles for environmental remediation
