Current Advancements in Nanomaterials for Wastewater Remediation: Challenges and Mitigation Strategies provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments in wastewater treatment supported mainly by nanotechnology-assisted techniques. It brings together the latest advances in nanomaterials and technologies and their diverse applications for wastewater remediation. The book begins by discussing water quality standards, monitoring strategies and different sources of water pollution, including various organic and inorganic contaminants like oil spills, dyes, metal pollutants, food waste and pharmaceutical wastes. Subsequent chapters provide the latest developments on the science, engineering and application of advanced nanomaterials for a wide range of technologies used for wastewater treatment and produced water treatment, such as physical, chemical, nanomaterial assisted, and membrane supported methods and techniques. Scientists and researchers in academia and industry will benefit from this comprehensive resource on the nanomaterials behind the technologies at which wastewater sources can be purified from contaminants.
