Sustainable Technologies for Remediation of Emerging Pollutants from Aqueous Environment

Compiles and collates advanced technologies for the purification of water and wastewater. The book covers the biological purification of wastewater, the use of adsorbents for decontamination of water, the role of membrane technology and its composites for removing emerging pollutants, and applications of advanced oxidation processes (AOP) for removal of emerging pollutants. This resource provides a single source solution to academicians and young researchers by assembling the latest information on the application of the conventional and non-conventional in water and wastewater purification.

- Presents global impacts of pollutants in the water environment, including organic pollutants, inorganic pollutants and biological contamination

- Compares removal mechanisms of emerging pollutants by different purification technologies

- Applies conventional and non-conventional techniques to water and wastewater purification processes
