Full Description
Holistic perspective on environmental nanotechnology and its impact on water quality, focusing pollution control, water quality, and hydrologic pathways
Nanotechnology in Water Research delves into the intersection of nanotechnology and environmental science, exploring the transformative potential of nanotechnology in addressing environmental challenges. The book discusses the characterization, stability, transport, and fate of nanomaterials in water systems, particularly in hydrologic pathways, the applications of nanotechnology in water pollution control, and significant scientific problems and advancements in nanotechnology's role in water research.
This title includes information on:
Nanotechnology and nanoparticle concepts, with many examples related to water quality technologies
Improving water treatment methods while ensuring environmental sustainability
Sensor, remediation, adsorption, and membrane processes that detect, monitor, remove, reduce, or neutralize water contaminants
Analytical technologies, stability theory, filtration theory, and fate and transport of nanoparticles in water to help reduce risks to humans and aquatic systems
Equally valuable as a reference, handbook, textbook, and general learning resource, this essential guide is an excellent read on the subject for students, educators, researchers, professionals, and stakeholders in environmental engineering, nanotechnology, and environmental science.
