Role of Green Chemistry in Ecosystem Restoration to Achieve
Environmental Sustainability deals with current challenges of
environmental problems along with the approaches of environmental
sustainability in alliance with green chemistry. The book shows how
to lessen the impact on the environment by maintaining a balance
between society, the environment, and the economy, all of which are
regarded as fundamental pillars of sustainability. Furthermore,
policymakers and scholars will gain insights into how to develop
and explore innovative techniques for achieving sustainable
development goals. This book is unique in the field of
environmental sustainability, as it is based on green chemistry
concepts.
Urban Water Crisis and Management: Strategies for Sustainable
Development, Sixth Edition presents solutions for the current
challenges of urban water and management strategies. Through
contributed chapters, a framework is laid out for a reduction of
the use of groundwater (heavily overused as a solution) and the
alternative options for the supply of water to cities, or for urban
water. Sections discuss urban water, its problems and management
approaches, address the root causes of the water crisis in urban
areas, and cover the scientific and technical knowledge necessary
to manage water resources. Significant gaps between developed and
developing nations in the procedure of water management are also
addressed, along with practical information regarding recycling and
the reuse of wastewater which is useful as baseline data for the
future.
Water Resources Management for Rural Development: Challenges and
Mitigation provides an overview of the current challenges of rural
water and its management strategies. The content contains practical
and theoretical aspects of the water crisis in rural areas in a
changing climate era, with an emphasis on recent water crisis
research and management strategies. The book's structure contains
fundamentals of water resources, pollution, remediation, supply and
management strategies. Case studies included provide different
water-related issues around the globe, introducing the reader to
the paths of reducing the burden on the groundwater and the
alternative options for the supply of water in rural areas.
Decision-makers and water supply authorities will benefit from this
unique resource that comprehensively covers rural water management
in ways no comparable book has achieved.
Discover a groundbreaking new wastewater decontamination technology
The removal of wastewater contaminants is a key aspect of the water
cycle, allowing water to be fed safely back into circulation within
a given ecosystem. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a new class
of porous materials which can reversibly bind and sequester both
metal ions and potentially harmful organic substances, giving them
a potentially crucial role in the targeted removal of wastewater
contaminants. They may also enable significant cost and energy
savings over now-conventional ion exchangers in water treatment
plants. Metal Organic Frameworks for Wastewater Contaminant Removal
provides an accessible, practical guide to the development,
evaluation, and potential applications of MOFs in maintaining the
water cycle. It begins with an overview of the major metallic and
non-metallic contaminants found in wastewater and their
interactions with major MOF-based materials, before moving to the
challenges and opportunities provided by MOFs in the pursuit of a
sustainable, energy-efficient water cycle. The result is a
groundbreaking resource in the ever-expanding global fight to keep
water clean and safe. Metal Organic Frameworks for Wastewater
Contaminant Removal readers will also find: MOF technology and its
water treatment applications discussed in depth for the first time
in a major publication Comparison with existing decontamination
technologies and environmental risk assessment Applications for
environmental as well as industrial toxicants based on recent
research and on case studies Metal Organic Frameworks for
Wastewater Contaminant Removal is indispensable for water chemists,
chemical engineers, environmental chemists, and for any researchers
or industry professionals working with water decontamination
technologies.
Visualization Techniques for Climate Change with Machine Learning
and Artificial Intelligence covers computer-aided artificial
intelligence and machine learning technologies as related to the
impacts of climate change and its potential to prevent/remediate
the effects. As such, different types of algorithms, mathematical
relations and software models may help us to understand our current
reality, predict future weather events and create new products and
services to minimize human impact, chances of improving and saving
lives and creating a healthier world. This book covers different
types of tools for the prediction of climate change and alternative
systems which can reduce the levels of threats observed by climate
change scientists. Moreover, the book will help to achieve at least
one of 17 sustainable development goals i.e., climate action.
Ecological Significance of Riparian Ecosystems: Challenges and
Management Strategies examines the current issues related to river
ecosystems, their environmental importance, pollution issues and
potential management strategies. The book is divided into 4 key
themes: Basics of river ecosystem, Natural phenomenon of river
ecosystem, Human-induced problems of river ecosystem, and
Management measures for the river ecosystem. Through these four
themes, the contributors present both practical and theoretical
aspects of river ecosystem in changing climate. An emphasis has
been made on the recent research of climate change and its impact
on the river ecosystem. River ecosystems have tremendous potential
to store CO2, however, with changing climatic and anthropogenic
activities, these habitats are under threat, and river ecosystems
are losing the very vital service of storing carbon. Unlike well
documented terrestrial biodiversity, the biodiversity in aquatic
ecosystems is still unrecognized to some extent.
Green and Sustainable Approaches using Wastes for the Production of
Multifunctional Nanomaterials focuses on the examination of green
synthesis utilizing green waste materials derived from home and
industrial applications. This book also examines the current state
of material generations, future problems and their industrial
constraints, and the synthesis of NMs for various applications such
as medicinal, agriculture, environmental, food and beverage
storage, and so on. The book includes the most recent practical and
theoretical aspects of the use of waste materials released in the
fabrication of various types of valuable nanomaterials, such as
metal, metal oxide, polymeric, and graphene, among others. This is
a relatively new concept in waste utilization, and green synthesis
is a viable resource in making NPs. This book will also be valuable
for waste management professionals who need proper disposal
techniques for by-products.
Artificial Intelligence for Renewable Energy Systems addresses the
energy industries remarkable move from traditional power generation
to a cost-effective renewable energy system, and most importantly,
the paradigm shift from a market-based cost of the commodity to
market-based technological advancements. Featuring recent
developments and state-of-the-art applications of artificial
intelligence in renewable energy systems design, the book
emphasizes how AI supports effective prediction for energy
generation, electric grid related line loss prediction, load
forecasting, and for predicting equipment failure prevention.
Looking at approaches in system modeling and performance prediction
of renewable energy systems, this volume covers power generation
systems, building service systems and combustion processes,
exploring advances in machine learning, artificial neural networks,
fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms and hybrid mechanisms.
