Design and fabrication of low-cost, effective and environmentally friendly micro/nanomaterials exhibiting strong wettability properties and mechanical and chemical stability are examined, along with current research developments and possible future directions, making this book an essential read for researchers, advanced students, and industry professionals with an interest in nanotechnology and sustainable (bio)technologies.
The increasing amounts of industrial substances released by petrochemical, steel or gas-generating plants and food-processing factories into water poses an ever more serious environmental threat. Due to the significant adverse impact on the natural ecosystem, aquatic organisms and human health, the scientific community has made its priority to find sustainable methods to separate oil-water mixtures.
- Provides an "all-in-one" reference on oil-water separation using cutting-edge, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly nanotechnology-based solutions
- Sheds light on the proper disposal, management and treatment processes of petroleum wastewater
- Includes a discussion on new developments and findings, as well as challenges and concerns with an indication of where the field may move in coming years
Academia: Researchers and advanced students from across nanotechnology, marine sciences, biotechnology, sustainability, materials science, chemistry, chemical engineering, and environmental science. Industry: Chemical/biochemical, mechanical, and naval engineers, and scientists in oil-related industries; environmental professionals; R&D professionals with an interest in nanotechnology and sustainable (bio)technologies
