Nanotechnology in Water and Waste Water Treatment: Theory and Applications explores the unique physicochemical and surface properties of nanoparticles and highlights the advantages they provide for engineering applications. Applications covered include the generation of fresh water from surface water and seawater, the prevention of the contamination of the environment, and the creation of effective and efficient methods for remediation of polluted waters. Each chapter covers a different nanotechnology-based approach and examines the basic principles, practical applications, recent breakthroughs and associated limitations. This book is ideal for researchers and professionals in the fields of nanotechnology, water treatment and desalination. In addition, it is also ideal for postgraduate students, industry and government professionals, managers and policymakers.

This book introduces advanced water vapour condensation processes, modelling and control technologies in order to find a sustainable solution in an industrialised society. The theoretical analysis and modelling of heat and mass transfer rates produced in a condensation process is a significant issue in a design of wide range of industrial processes and devices. It includes five advanced and revised contributions which cover the laminar film-wise condensation; the condensation at nanoscale; the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds in aqueous medium; the condensation for solar still and the effect of noncondensable gases on condensation.
