Submit a ProposalSmart Materials for Waste Water Applications
 | Edited by Ajay Kumar Mishra Copyright: 2016 | Status: Published ISBN: 9781119041184 | Hardcover | 416 pages Price: $195.00 USD  |
One Line Description
The 15 chapters detail the fundamentals and showcase the smart materials and their applications that have led to the creation of new tools and techniques in waste water management.
Audience
Engineers and scientists working in the area of materials science, engineering, environmental science, water research and waste water applications will benefit from the fundamental concepts, advanced approaches and application of the various smart materials reported in the book.

Description
Smart materials have been used to develop more cost-effective and high-performance water treatment systems as well as instant and continuous ways to monitor water quality. Smart materials in water research have been extensively utilized for the treatment, remediation and pollution prevention and can maintain long-term water quality, availability and viability of water resource. Thus, water via smart materials can be reused, recycled and desalinized, and it can detect the biological and chemical contamination as well as deduce whether the source is from municipal, industrial or man-made waste.
The 15 state-of-the-art review chapters contained in this book cover the recent advancements in the area of waste water, as well as the prospects about the future research and development of smart materials for the waste water applications in the municipal, industrial and man-made waste areas. Treatment techniques (nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, adsorption and nano-reactive membranes) are also covered in-depth.
The chapters are divided into three groups: The first section includes the various carbon nanomaterials (such as carbon nanotubes, mixed oxides) with a focus on use of carbon at nanoscale applied for waste water research. The second section focuses on synthetic nanomaterials for pollutants removal. The third section highlights the bio-polymeric nanomaterials where the authors have used the natural polymers matrices in a composite and nanocomposite material for waste treatment.
