The world's fresh water supplies are dwindling rapidly-even
wastewater is now considered an asset. By 2025, most of the world's
population will be facing serious water stresses and shortages.
Aquananotechnology: Global Prospects breaks new ground with its
informative and innovative introduction of the application of
nanotechnology to the remediation of contaminated water for
drinking and industrial use. It provides a comprehensive overview,
from a global perspective, of the latest research and developments
in the use of nanotechnology for water purification and
desalination methods. The book also covers approaches to
remediation such as high surface area nanoscale media for
adsorption of toxic species, UV treatment of pathogens, and
regeneration of saturated media with applications in municipal
water supplies, produced water from fracking, ballast water, and
more. It also discusses membranes, desalination, sensing,
engineered polymers, magnetic nanomaterials, electrospun
nanofibers, photocatalysis, endocrine disruptors, and Al13
clusters. It explores physics-based phenomena such as subcritical
water and cavitation-induced sonoluminescence, and fog harvesting.
With contributions from experts in developed and developing
countries, including those with severe contamination, such as
China, India, and Pakistan, the book's content spans a wide range
of the subject areas that fall under the aquananotechnology banner,
either squarely or tangentially. The book strongly emphasizes
sorption media, with broad application to a myriad of
contaminants-both geogenic and anthropogenic-keeping in mind that
it is not enough for water to be potable, it must also be
palatable.
