Submit a ProposalPhotocatalysts in Advanced Oxidation Processes for Wastewater Treatment
 | Edited by Elvis Fosso-Kankeu, Sadanand Pandey and Suprakas Sinha Ray Copyright: 2020 | Expected Pub Date:2020/05/07 ISBN: 9781119631392 | Hardcover | 308 pages | 73 illustrations Price: $225 USD  |
One Line Description
The growing contamination of surface water by industrial activities is posing a serious threat to the available water resources used for drinking around the world; the Advanced Oxidation Processes have been found to be useful for the removal of such organic compounds from wastewater and this book details these processes.
Audience
This book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of environmental sciences, chemistry, engineering, biochemistry, biotechnology, as well as professionals including environmental managers, water treatment plants managers and operators, water authorities, government regulatory bodies officers and environmentalists.

Description
Photocatalysts in Advanced Oxidation Processes for Wastewater Treatment comprehensively covers a range of topics aiming to promote the implementation of photocatalysis at large scale through provision of facile and green methods for catalysts synthesis and elucidation of pollutants degradation mechanisms. This book is divided into two main parts namely “Synthesis of effective photocatalysts” (Part I) and “Mechanisms of the photocatalytic degradation of various pollutants” (Part II). The first part focuses on the exploration of various strategies to synthesize sustainable and effective photocatalysts using eco-friendly, inexpensive green materials such as plants and microorganisms. The second part of the book provides insights into the photocatalytic degradation mechanisms and pathways under ultraviolet and visible light irradiation, as well as the challenges faced by this technology and its future prospects.
