Description

Phytonanoparticles as Green Catalysts for the Degradation of Persistent Organic Pollutants provides comprehensive overview about Phytonanoparticle synthesis, catalytic properties, and effectiveness for breaking down hazardous organic compounds. The main aim of this book is to bridge-up the gaps between nanotechnology and environmental remediation by showcasing phytonanoparticles as eco-friendly, sustainable alternatives to conventional catalytic methods. Traditional approaches often rely on the generation of toxic chemicals along with expensive processes, whereas phytonanoparticles present a more sustainable and cost-effective solution. Moreover, this book may also be used as a cutting-edge reference by the researchers working in the field of green nanotechnology and pollution control. Despite notable advancements in environmental nanotechnology, there is a distinct lack of comprehensive resources focusing specifically on the catalytic applications of phytonanoparticles. This volume will also address the research gaps by involving recent research, technological advancements and practical case studies. Surely, it will be a valuable guide for the scientists, engineers, and policymakers seeking sustainable and innovative strategies to combat persistent organic pollutants and advance the field of green environmental technology.
