Introduction

Nanotechnology in Environmental Remediation: Perspectives and Prospects details the current and emerging roles of nanotechnology in restoring environmental quality across air, water, and soil systems. Integrating recent scientific advances with practical applications, the book explores the synthesis, characterization, and deployment of nanomaterials for environmental decontamination.

Divided into five parts and sixteen chapters, the book covers a wide array of topics including carbon-based and biogenic nanomaterials, biochar nanocomposites, photocatalytic technologies, and green nanotechnology. It examines applications such as wastewater treatment, air purification, soil restoration, and remediation of persistent organic pollutants. In addition to technical insights, the book addresses sustainability, safety, toxicology, and the socio-economic dimensions of nanotechnology use in environmental systems.

Key Features:

  • - Introduces readers to green synthesis and functionalization of nanomaterials
  • - Gives an understanding of how to evaluate nanotechnology applications in air, water, and soil remediation
  • - Covers photocatalytic and sensor-based innovations
  • - Covers toxicological and environmental safety concerns
  • - Highlights future trends and sustainable practices in bioremediation


Readership:

This book serves as a vital resource for researchers, environmental scientists, engineers, and practitioners seeking strategies and solutions for using nanotechnology based sustainable environmental restoration.
