Among the various treatment technologies available, ozonation has emerged as a powerful and versatile tool for addressing water quality challenges. Ozonation - New Aspects offers a deep dive into the latest research, innovations, and applications of this technology, highlighting its potential to transform the field of water and wastewater treatment. This book brings together a collection of expert contributions, each exploring a different side of ozonation technology. From fundamental principles and chemical reactions to industrial applications and hybrid pro...
Water Conservation
To conserve water, one of the most valuable and vital resources in the world, management and public strategies, processes to reduce water consumption in industrial/commercial applications, and methods such as smart irrigation systems have been proposed. Local authorities have focused on infrastructure operations to prevent water losses and flow measurements have begun to be followed more closely. The use of greywater for partial recycling of water for household purposes and rainwater harvesting systems are being encouraged. In addition, there is more research on water conservation, its smart use, and recycling of used water being conducted. This book presents valuable scientific research on water and land management, groundwater management, and water/wastewater treatment applications for the conservation of water.
Valorization of Biomass Wastes for Environmental Sustainability
Zusammenfassung: This volume discusses the reduction, recycling, and reuse of industrial and agricultural biomass wastes to develop value-added products using environmentally sustainable practices and technologies. Through these waste valorization approaches, biomass waste materials can be converted into useful bio-chemical products, sustainable construction materials, polymers, bio-energy, and bio-fuel as sustainable alternatives to products and materials with negative environmental and health consequences. The chapters highlight the development and implementation of eco-friendly solutions to biomass waste production with the aim of reducing natural resource deterioration, bolstering rural and small-scale business systems in communities impacted by pollution and climate change, and providing power from residual biomass to broadly reduce environmental impacts through improved waste management practices. The book is intended to be a useful resource for researchers, policymakers, NGOs, government agencies, and local community authorities working in waste management and environmental sustainability
Sustainable Nanoremediation
The use of nanomaterials for remediation efforts has been overlooked even though they present interesting characteristics as remediators. This new book provides a valuable overview of low-cost and eco-friendly green synthesized nanomaterials as advantageous technology that promotes efficient nanoremediation of environmental pollution for the restoration of polluted areas. It discusses the potential of nanomaterials, specifically green synthesized nanomaterials, as a practical and efficient solution toward sustainability. The book details the advantages of green nanomaterials when compared to conventional physicochemical methods, such as avoiding the use of harmful reagents and reducing toxic waste production. The book addresses themes such as contaminants associated with environmental pollution and the threats to humans; nanoremediation strategies that use microbes, plants, or amendments; and nanoparticles as tools for nanoremediation and their advantageous characteristics.
Innovative and Hybrid Technologies for Wastewater Treatment and Recycling
Innovative and Hybrid Technologies for Wastewater Treatment and Recycling investigates the biological and non-biological features of the treatment process for wastewater and emphasizes the benefits that these aspects bring for sustainable engineering. It discusses several approaches that are based on biological and non-biological processes and examines the fundamental principles, practical applications, current achievements, future aspects, and associated limits. Further, it provides a wide range of innovative research on the treatment of wastewater, as well as the applications in the treatment, remediation, and pollution prevention processes. Explains the principles and concepts of the most recent and innovative treatment processes for wastewater remediation. Examines emerging nanofiber technology for the purification of wastewater. Provides an overview of the most cutting-edge environmentally friendly technologies.
Advances in Natural Dyes for Environmental Protection
Synthetic dyes, especially those used in the textile industry, are huge contributors to the damaging effects on ecosystems worldwide due to their toxic and non-biodegradable nature. Natural dyes, on the other hand, are interesting eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic ones. This new volume discusses the environmental pollution caused by dyes, presents advances in natural dyes, considers their advantages over synthetic dyes, and offers solutions to the difficulties related to the use of natural dyes. The volume also offers effective remediation strategies for the management of both natural and harmful synthetic dyes in the environment. Biotechnological tools and bioremediation strategies pla...
Drought
The deterioration of the balance between precipitation and evaporation and the long duration of this situation is known as drought. Drought adversely affects many environmental components such as soil processes, vegetation growth, wildlife, water quality, and aquatic ecosystems. While drought has unfavorable impacts on both surface and groundwater resources, hydrological regimes can also be affected by it, changing the chemistry of surface waters and the runoff pathway, which can negatively influence water quality. Today one out of every three people is faced with the drought and water shortage risk, thus water scarcity and water stress. This book presents studies on the various forms and severity of the drought that can occur in almost every region of the world as well as their causes and impacts. It analyzes in detail the complex drought phenomenon, which has a significant impact on water resources, agriculture, energy production, human health, and forest fires.
Magnetic Nanomaterials
This book explores some of the latest and recent advances in the synthesis, characterization and applications of magnetic nanomaterials. It starts with an overview of magnetic nanomaterials, followed by a list of their synthesis and characterization methods. The book shows the potential of magnetic materials in different applications, including theranostic nanomedicine, heavy metals detection, dyes sensing, solar cells, wastewater treatment, decontamination of soil, and detection and monitoring of toxic gases. Moreover, it explores their use as drug and gene delivery agents, their biosafety and bioregulation facets, tissue engineering applications, and their potential for combating pathogens
Enhancing Resilience of Dryland Agriculture Under Changing Climate
This contributed volume describes management practices based on interdisciplinary and convergence science approaches from different disciplines of agricultural science to enhance the resilience of dryland agriculture. The main focus of this book is to address the current issues and trends along with future prospects and challenges in adopting salient agricultural management practices in drylands globally under a climate-change scenario. Climate change and global warming have profound repercussions on increasing frequency, severity, and duration of droughts and/or floods, which may have implications for future productivity of dryland agriculture, e.g., more water shortages or abundances and h...
