NANOTECHNOLOGIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION ...

In this book discussing the principles of green chemistry and green engineering an
international team of investigators present significant recent developments in applying
nanoscience  nanoengineering  and nanotechnology to the area of environmental remediation. The
opening chapters introduce candidate nanomaterials  properties  mechanisms that enable the
applications  the advantages and limitations compared to existing processes and commercial
research requirements. It then explores the detection and application of nanomaterials in
photocatalytic processes and as adsorbents  and also covers the effect of nanoparticles in the
activated sludge process. Later chapters focus on the effects of nanoparticles on crops  the
risks associated with the presence of nanoparticles in the environment  and lastly the
environmental effects of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) on land remediation.This timely 
multi-author contributed volume is aimed at students  technicians  and academics interested in
the role  risks and benefits of nanotechnology in modern environmental contexts.
