Nanotechnology in Water and Wastewater Treatment: Theory and Applications

Nanotechnology in Water and Waste Water Treatment explores the unique physicochemical and surface properties of nanoparticles and highlights the advantages that these provide for engineering applications that ensure a supply of safe drinking water for our growing population. Application areas include generating fresh water from surface water and seawater, preventing contamination of the environment, and creating effective and efficient methods for remediation of polluted waters. Each chapter covers a different nanotechnology based approach and examines the basic principles, practical applications, recent break-through and limitations associated with it. The last few chapters cover the environmental risks of applying engineered nanomaterials and nanotechnology for water purification and wastewater treatment. The advanced ideas and information described will aid readers in finding sustainable solutions in an industrialized society. Nanotechnology in Water and Waste Water Treatment: Theory and Applications offers a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of the field for researchers and professionals in the fields of nanotechnology, water treatment and desalination, as well as postgraduate students, industry and government professionals, managers and policymakers.
