Description
Description
Advanced Materials for Sustainable Environmental Remediation: Terrestrial and Aquatic Environments presents detailed, comprehensive coverage of novel and advanced materials that can be applied to address the growing global concern of the pollution of natural resources in waters, the air and soil. It provides fundamental knowledge on available materials and treatment processes, as well as applications, including adsorptive remediation and catalytic remediation. Organized clearly by type of material, this book presents a consistent structure for each chapter, including characteristics of the materials, basic and important physicochemical features for environmental remediation applications, routes of synthesis, recent advances as remediation medias, and future perspectives.
This book offers an interdisciplinary and practical examination of available materials and processes for environmental remediation that will be valuable to environmental scientists, materials scientists, environmental chemists, and environmental engineers alike.

Ioannis Anastopoulos
Dr. Ioannis Anastopoulos is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Agriculture, University of Ioannina, Arta, Greece. He graduated from the Department of Natura Resources Management and Agricultural Engineering from the Agricultural University of Athens, while he obtained the Ph.D. in Environmental Soil and Water Chemistry with two post-graduate degrees in Agricultural Engineering-Agricultural Science and Soil Science (Edafology)-Soil Resources Management. He has worked in postdoctoral research at the Agricultural Research Institute (Cyprus), the University of Patras (Greece), the University of Cyprus (Cyprus), and Hellenic Mediterranean University (Greece). His research is focused on the estimation of greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural soils after receiving organic and inorganic materials, the fabrication of different adsorbents for wastewater treatment, and the use of organic amendments for soil remediation.
