Contamination of aqueous environments by hazardous chemical
compounds is the direct cause of the decline of safe clean water
supply throughout the globe. The use of unconventional water
sources such as treated wastewater will be a new norm. Emerging
nanotechnological innovations have great potential for wastewater
remediation processes. Applications that use smart nanomaterials of
inorganic and organic origin improve treatment efficiency and lower
energy requirements. This book describes the synthesis,
fabrication, and application of advanced nanomaterials in water
treatment processes; their adsorption, transformation into low
toxic forms, or degradation phenomena, and the adsorption and
separation of hazardous dyes, organic pollutants, heavy metals and
metalloids from aqueous solutions. It explains the use of different
categories of nanomaterials for various pollutants and enhances
understanding of nanotechnology-based water remediation to make it
less toxic and reusable.
Nanomaterials for Wastewater Remediation introduces techniques for
nanoparticle formation and their benefits in environmental cleanup,
as well as their recent advances and applications in wastewater
treatment. The book follows a sequential approach for the treatment
of wastewater, presenting state-of-the-art techniques for the
characterization and measurement of nanomaterials. Nanoparticles
represent a promising new technology for wastewater remediation,
not only because of their high treatment efficiency, but also for
their cost effectiveness, as they have the flexibility for in situ
and ex situ applications. New methods for developing nanomaterials
with less environmental risk are described. Nanomaterials such as
magnetic nanoparticles and graphene-based nanocomposites are
discussed in detail. Also includes in-depth analyses of the
ecotoxicological impacts of nanomaterials and the latest findings
on the transport and fate of nanomaterials in the environment.
