Request a sales quoteRemoval of Emerging Contaminants from Wastewater through Bio-nanotechnology showcases profiles of the nonregulated contaminants termed as “emerging contaminants,” which comprise industrial and household persistent toxic chemicals, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), pesticides, surfactants and surfactant residues, plasticizers and industrial additives, manufactured nanomaterials and nanoparticles, microplastics, etc. that are used extensively in everyday life. The occurrence of “emerging contaminants” in wastewater, and their behavior during wastewater treatment and production of drinking water are key issues in the reuse and recycling of water resources.
This book focuses on the exploitation of Nano-biotechnology inclusive of the state-of-the-art remediate strategies to degrade/detoxify/stabilize toxic and hazardous contaminants and restore contaminated sites, which is not as comprehensively discussed in the existing titles on similar topics available in the global market. In addition, it discusses the potential environmental and health hazards and ecotoxicity associated with the widespread distribution of emerging contaminants in the water bodies. It also considers the life cycle assessment (LCA) of emerging (micro)-pollutants with suitable case studies from various industrial sources.
- Provides natural and ecofriendly solutions to deal with the problem of pollution
- Details underlying mechanisms of nanotechnology-associated microbes for the removal of emerging contaminants
- Describes numerous successful field studies on the application of bio-nanotechnology for eco-restoration of contaminated sites
- Presents recent advances and challenges in bio-nanotechnology research and applications for sustainable development
- Provides authoritative contributions on the diverse aspects of bio-nanotechnology by world’s leading experts
