Nano-Enabled Technologies for Water Remediation highlights several aspects of wastewater treatment using low-dimensional carbon-based materials. The book also focuses on advances in membrane-based separation, specifically on the pressure driven membrane process. In the case of membrane advances, the focus is exclusively on metal and metal oxide, mixed matrix membranes, GO, and CNT loaded membranes for targeted pollutant removal. Further, new and upcoming technologies of membrane preparation, via the electrospinning method, and advances in membrane distillation and wastewater remediation are discussed. In addition, the book includes coverage of recent advances occurring in sustainable technologies for wastewater remediation with bio-active nanomaterials, bio-inspired, and bio-templated nanomaterials which assist readers in gaining a new perspective for implementing nature-mimicked designs for water treatment and conservation.

This book covers an extensive range of issues related to constructed wetlands for treatment of stormwater and wastewater. Chapter One covers the functions and classifications of constructed wetlands, treatment processes of wetlands and a detailed description of microphytes. Chapter Two provides details of the design of wetlands and their construction. Chapter Three provides details of the important issue of operation and maintenance of constructed wetlands. Chapter Four highlights all the experience gained from managing a large and prominent urban wetland. Chapter Five outlines the importance of engaging the community when planning, designing and constructing wetlands. The book is useful for environmental professionals desiring a good appreciation of the concepts in constructed wetlands. This book is also a useful reference for graduate and post-graduate students of civil and environmental engineering, chemical engineering, environmental management or environmental science.

Membrane Technology and Environmental Applications explains the use of membrane materials as a direct, effective, and sustainable way to address environmental problems. Membranes are a core technology for separating material mixtures, such as wastewater and saltwater, and offer significant advantages over other technologies. Membrane technologies are relatively simple in concept and operation, flexible, and compatible with integrated systems in many environments. They can also minimise the use of treatment chemicals, the production of residuals, and energy consumption. This volume provides in-depth technical information on the fundamentals, applications, and recent advances of membrane technology, including state-of-the-art reviews of current research, critical analysis of new processes and materials, and avenues for further study. Chapters examine environmental applications such as treatment of drinking water, wastewater, and industrial wastewater; water reclamation and reuse; desalination; removal of arsenic and emerging contaminants; treatment of greywater and rainwater, and the production of bioproducts from wastewater sludge. New research is described on such topics as membrane fouling, process enhancement, membrane biofilm reactors, nanomaterials, and new separation techniques. Chapters contain extensive illustrations, case studies, summary tables, and up-to-date references. For practicing engineers, environmental and treatment-plant managers, and government officials, this volume is an essential guide for designing and implementing membrane technologies. Educators, graduate and undergraduate students, and researchers involved in environmental engineering and science will find this book to be a valuable learning tool and reference.
