Sorbents Materials for Controlling Environmental Pollution: Current State and Trends presents data on current use and future trends regarding sorbent materials employed against soil, water, and air pollution. The book is organized first by use and research for a variety of geographic areas. It will then focus on different sorbent materials and their uses, followed by various pollutants and their management. Including updated and extensive data from an assortment of sources, the book is organized to be very accessible, including with an interactive table to help identify the results of appropriate sorbents for each environmental compartment.
The growing concern regarding soil, water and air pollution all over the world has implications for climate change and sustainability, making Sorbents Materials for Controlling Environmental Pollution: Current State and Trends an important reference for environmental scientists to identify tools for moving forward in solving these problems.
- Includes data and examples from various geographic locations worldwide
- Synthesizes data for a variety of sorbent material from different sources
- Presents data for various kinds of pollutants across environmental spheres, including soil, water, and air
- Utilizes an interactive table for quicker access to data and results

Avelino Nunez-Delgado
Avelino Nuñez-Delgado is a Professor in the Department of Edafology and Agricultural Chemistry at the University of Santiago de Compostela. His PhD Thesis focused on diffuse pollution and he also researched wastewater treatment systems and worked on biomarkers of water pollution in France. Later, he focused on recycling, red mud, sewage sludge, wood ash, and other waste. He studied retention/inactivation of contaminants, and potential for agronomic recycling, including composting. He has registered 8 patents and received several recognitions and awards. Since then, he’s focused on retention of pollutants using by-products. Derived from that, he has published more than 50 papers in top journals since 2012, as well as proceedings and book chapters. He is Associate Editor of the Journal of Environmental Management and on the Editorial Board of Science of the Total Environment.
