One Line Description
The book exclusively focuses on green chemistry and discusses tools and techniques which are eco-friendly, nonhazardous, and low-waste generating for removing dyes from wastewater.

Audience
Scientists and researchers in the fields of chemical engineering, green chemistry, sustainable development issues, environmental pollution abatement, cleaner production technologies and catalysis, genetic engineering, environmental engineeering, microbiology. bacteriology, biotechnology and biosystems engineering.

Description
The use of synthetic chemical dyes in various industrial processes, including paper and pulp manufacturing, plastics, dyeing of cloth, leather treatment and printing, has increased considerably over the last few years, resulting in the release of dye-containing industrial effluents into the soil and aquatic ecosystems. The textile industry generates high-polluting wastewaters and their treatment is a very serious problem due to high total dissolved solids (TDS), presence of toxic heavy metals, and the non-biodegradable nature of the dyestuffs in the effluent.
The chapters in this book provide an overview of the problem and its solution from various angles. These problems and solutions are presented in a genuinely holistic way by world-renowned researchers. Discussed are various promising techniques to remove dyes, including the use of nanotechnology, ultrasound, microwave, catalysts, biosorption, enzymatic treatments, advanced oxidation processes, etc., all of which are “green.”

Green Chemistry for Dyes Removal from Wastewater comprehensively discusses:
• Different types of dyes, their working and methodologies and various physical, chemical and biological treatment methods employed
• Application of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in dye removal The potential of ultrasound as an AOP is discussed as well.
• Nanotechnology in the treatment of dye removal types of adsorbents for removal of toxic pollutants from aquatic systems
• Photocatalytic oxidation process for dye degradation under both UV and visible light, application of solar light and solar photoreactor in dye degradation
• Non-conventional adsorbents including clays, siliceous materials, zeolites, agricultural solid wastes, industrial byproducts, peat, chitin and chitosan, biomass, starch-based derivatives and miscellaneous adsorbents
• The results of the removal of dye contaminants from water using hen feather as an adsorbent
• Technologies developed to treat dye-containing effluents (DCEFs) such as coagulation-flocculation, filtration, sedimentation, precipitation-flocculation, electrocoagulation-electroflotation, biodegradation, photocatalysis, oxidation, electrochemical treatment, membrane separation, ion-exchange, incineration, irradiation, advanced oxidation, bacterial decolorization, electrokinetic coagulation and adsorption on activated carbon.
