Novel Materials for Environmental Remediation Applications

Novel Materials for Environmental Remediation Applications: Adsorption and Beyond 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 water, the air, and in soil. The book provides up-to-date knowledge of state-of-the-art materials and treatment processes, as well as details of applications, including adsorptive remediation and catalytic remediation. Chapters include the characteristics of 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 novel materials and processes for environmental remediation that will be valuable to environmental scientists, materials scientists, environmental chemists, and environmental engineers alike.

• Highlights a wide range of synthetic methodologies, physicochemical and engineered features of novel materials, and composites/hybrids for environmental purposes
• Presents applications of adsorbents or catalysts for water/wastewater treatment and air purification technologies such as advanced oxidation processes, adsorption, photocatalysis, coagulation, flotation, membrane separation, filtration, and others
• Provides comprehensive, consolidated coverage of novel materials for environmental remediation applications for researchers in environmental science, materials science, and industry to identify in-depth solutions to pollution
