The capability to generate potable water from polluted sources is
growing in importance as pharmaceuticals, microplastics and waste
permeate our soil. Nanotechnology allows for improvements in water
remediation technologies by taking advantage of the unique
properties of materials at this small scale.
Handbook of Nanomaterials in Analytical Chemistry: Modern Trends in
Analysis explores the recent advancements in a variety of
analytical chemistry techniques due to nanotechnology. It also
devotes several chapters to the analytical techniques that have
proven useful for the analysis of nanomaterials. As conventional
analytical chemistry methods become insufficient in terms of
accuracy, selectivity, sensitivity, reproducibility, and speed,
recent advances have opened up new horizons for chemical analysis
and detection methods. Chapters are authored by experts in their
respective fields and include up-to-date reference materials, such
as websites of interest and suggested reading lists on the latest
research.
Environmental analysis techniques have advanced due to the use of
nanotechnologies in improving the detection sensitivity and
miniaturization of the devices in analytical procedures. These
allow for developments such as increases in analyte concentration,
the removal of interfering species and improvements in the
detection limits. Bridging a gap in the literature, these books
uniquely bring together state-of-the-art research in the
applications of novel nanomaterials to each of the classical
components of environmental analysis, namely sample preparation and
extraction, separation and identification by spectroscopic
techniques. Special attention is paid to those approaches that are
considered greener and reduce the cost of the analysis process both
in terms of chemicals and time consumption. Advanced
undergraduates, graduates and researchers at the forefront of
environmental science and engineering will find these books a good
source of information. It will also help regulators, decision
makers, surveillance agencies and the organizations assessing the
impact of pollutants on the environment.
