Offering a comprehensive view of water-treatment technologies,
Nanomaterials for Water Treatment and Remediation explores recent
developments in the use of advanced nanomaterials (ANMs) for water
treatment and remediation. In-depth reaction mechanisms in
water-treatment technologies, including adsorption, catalysis, and
membrane filtration for water purification using ANMs, are
discussed in detail. The book includes an investigation of the
fabrication processes of nanostructured materials and the
fundamental aspects of surfaces at the nanoscale. The book also
covers the removal of water-borne pathogens and microbes through a
photochemical approach. FEATURES Explains various chemical
treatments for the removal and separation of hazardous dyes,
organic pollutants, pharmaceuticals, and heavy metals from aqueous
solutions, including adsorption, advanced oxidation process, and
photocatalysis Discusses the rational design of nanoporous
materials with a tunable pore structure and fabrication of
nanomaterials by surface chemistry engineering Covers the role of
nanomaterials-assisted oxidation and reduction processes, design of
nano-assisted membrane-based separation, and multifunctional
nanomaterials and nanodevices for water treatment Provides an
understanding of the structure-activity relationship and stability
of ANMs under critical experimental conditions Identifies potential
challenges in the application of multifunctional ANMs for future
research Nanomaterials for Water Treatment and Remediation is aimed
at researchers and industry professionals in chemical, materials,
and environmental engineering as well as related fields interested
in the application of advanced materials to water treatment and
remediation.
Biopolymers: Synthesis, Properties, and Emerging Applications
presents the state-of-the-art in biopolymers, bringing together
detailed information on synthesis strategies, processing and
cutting-edge applications. The book begins by introducing the
synthesis, processing and structural and functional properties of
smart biopolymers and bionanocomposites. Subsequent chapters focus
on the synthesis and preparation of biopolymers with valuable
properties or for specific advanced applications, including
piezoelectric properties, shape memory properties, biodegradable
polymer blends, synthesis and assembly of nanomaterials, synthesis
of green biopolymers, and catalytic synthesis of bio-sourced
polyesters and polycarbonate, as well as applications in active
food packaging, water purification, biomedicine, 3D printing, and
automotive. Throughout the book, there are analyses of different
synthesis strategies and processing methods and their role and use
in different fields of application, whilst the important challenges
relating to scalable processing and shaping and micro and nano
structuration are also discussed. The book also strives to balance
the synthetic aspects of biopolymers with physical principles,
highlighting biopolymer-based architectures including composite or
hybrid conjugates, providing in-depth discussion of important
examples of reaction mechanisms, and exploring potential
applications of biopolymer and conjugates, ranging from physical to
chemical and biological systems.
Heterostructured Photocatalysts for Solar Energy Conversion
provides a comprehensive description of novel z-scheme hybrid
materials based on metal oxide or chalcogenides-based
semiconductor, or carbon-based nanomaterials (conducting polymers,
graphene, and other carbon materials). The book explores energy
conversion applications, such as hydrogen generation, water
splitting, CO2 reduction or degradation of organic pollutants, and
their associated new material and technology development. The book
addresses a variety of topics, such as photochemical processes,
materials and fabrication, degradation mechanisms, as well as
challenges and strategies. The book includes in-depth discussions
ranging from comprehensive understanding, to engineering of
materials and applied devices. The concept of visible light active
catalysis emerged in recent decades and continues to attract the
scientific community. Driven primarily by an opportunity to develop
novel multifunctional materials on one hand, and sustainable
technologies on the other, several successful approaches have been
explored. However, preparation, characterization, and application
of visible light active Z-scheme heterojunction-based catalytic
nanostructures are still at the foreground of research activity.
Artificial photosynthesis is the process of converting solar energy
into useful fuels and represents a significant achievement in the
production of clean energy for the planet. In the process, energy
is generated from water and CO2 reduction using solar-powered
photocatalysis. This book provides a comprehensive overview of
recently developed, multifunctional materials as visible
light-driven catalysts, their mechanisms and applications in solar
energy utilisation and conversion. Chapters highlight the use of
different approaches such as molecular catalysis, nanomaterials
systems, as well as thin-films for solar-driven evolution of
renewable fuels, such as hydrogen. This is the first book to give
an overview of this area, with chapters specifically interesting
for those looking towards industrial applications. With in-depth
discussions ranging from understanding, to engineering of materials
and applied devices, it will be suitable for industry
professionals, researchers and students interested in understanding
of the current state of photocatalysis research and its possible
applications in the energy domain.
