Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Removal of Emerging Contaminants: Sustainable Approach for Environmental Clean-up and Circular Economy focuses on the exploitation of various Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to treat emerging contaminants and restoration of the contaminated sites. This book addresses the critical environmental issues and challenges faced by society to meet such challenges. This book aims to highlight artificial intelligence and machine learning tools in the removal of environmental contaminants, such as industrial effluents, air, and to overcome limitations of conventional methods, predict water quality parameters and decrease the chances of error. Advanced tools, updated information, and future directions for researchers and scientists working in the bioremediation of emerging contaminants, bioenergy and reutilization of waste biomass in the production of value-added products for environmental safety will be provided.
