Advanced Materials for Wastewater Treatment and Desalination: Fundamentals to Applications

Advanced  Materials for Wastewater Treatment and Desalination: Fundamentals to  Applications offers a comprehensive overview of current progress in the  development of advanced materials used in wastewater treatment and  desalination. The book is divided into two major sections, covering both  fundamentals and applications.

This book:

• Describes  the synthesis and modification of advanced materials, including metal  oxides, carbonaceous materials, perovskite-based materials,  polymer-based materials, and advanced nanocomposites
• Examines relevant synthesis routes and mechanisms as well as correlates materials' properties with their characterization
• Details new fabrication techniques including green synthesis, solvent-free, and energy-saving synthesis approaches
• Highlights  various applications, such as removal of organic contaminants,  discoloration of dye wastewater, petrochemical wastewater treatment, and  electrochemically-enhanced water treatment

With  chapters written by leading researchers from around the world, this  book will be of interest to chemical, materials, and environmental  engineers working on progressing materials applications to improve water  treatment technologies.
