Nanotechnology in Water Science

Nanotechnology in Water Science

explores how nanoscale materials, synthesis techniques, and application methodologies address critical water quality challenges including heavy metal contamination, organic pollutant removal, pathogen inactivation, and emerging contaminant remediation across freshwater and marine systems.

This comprehensive resource examines nanoparticle types-carbon nanotubes, metal oxides, nanomembranes, and quantum dots-alongside their surface properties, functionalization approaches, and integration into treatment systems.

Coverage addresses synthesis methods, characterization protocols, mechanism of action in pollutant removal, and practical implementation considerations across diverse contamination scenarios globally.

Real-world applications span municipal water treatment, industrial wastewater management, and point-of-use purification systems.

The text emphasizes environmental impact assessment, toxicological considerations, regulatory compliance frameworks, and cost-effectiveness analysis.

Readers develop competencies in nanoparticle selection, treatment system design, performance evaluation, and sustainability considerations.

Featuring case studies from developing and developed nations across Asia, Africa, and the Americas, this volume serves environmental scientists, water engineers, sustainability professionals, and policymakers seeking comprehensive understanding of nanotechnology applications in water treatment and quality management worldwide.
