Advanced Wastewater Treatment Technologies for the Removal of Pharmaceutically Active Compounds
This book reports on the treatment of waters and wastewaters with contaminants of emerging concern such as pharmaceutically active compounds. It shows how to prevent the contamination of the environment with such pollutants in the content of effluents. This book reviews various physico-chemical and biological methods that have been developed in order to deal with the polluted effluents. It also evaluates the already developed technologies regarding the sustainability criteria. The chapters discuss technical aspects and put the spotlight on the sustainability aspects of the water and wastewater treatment technologies.
New Monomers and Polymers
Interest in preparing new polymers peaked about 1966. Since that time, industrial and government support for the synthesis and study of new polymers has steadily declined. Gone are the good days when government funds supported a great push to attain ulti mate thermal stability for organic polymeric materials. Gone are the good days when many chemical companies, encouraged by the obvious potential for rewards, had great interest and provided support for preparing new polymers. We now often hear managers say "we have enough polymers" or "all we need to do is find additional and better ways to use existing polymers. " The latter often in cludes the statement, "we can get the new materials that ...

Catalytic Transformations of Sustainable and Versatile Furanic Chemicals
Diminishing confined fossil resources has spurred the scientific community to strive for alternative, sustainable resources, such as terrestrial biomass, which can potentially substitute fossil-based derivatives. Lignocellulosic biomass is deemed an indispensable carbon source for meeting industrial and social demands regarding energy/fuels and chemicals. Over the past decade, significant advances have been shown in developing a broad spectrum of high-value chemicals and functional materials derived from biomass-based substrates. In connection with this, furanic chemicals, such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural, have recently received considerable attention due to their potential...
Nanophotocatalysis and Environmental Applications
This book will be a guiding path to understand the photocatalytic process and mechanism for the deterioration of heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants and pathogens from wastewater. Environmental remediation is of crucial importance in the context of human sustainability in the present and future times. The unplanned anthropogenic activities and revolutionary industrialization end up in environmental contamination with noxious organic-inorganic and biogenic pollutants. The photocatalytic disinfection and detoxification is the only solution to preserve and restore the ecological balance. The main emphasis is to explore and enhance the photocatalytic potentials of solar active-materials.
Microbial Nexus for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment
Microbial ecology is pivotal in wastewater treatment, where microorganisms play a vital role in breaking down organic matter and ultimately reduce the levels of contaminants in treated water, making it safe for reuse in agriculture, industry, and other applications. The book, Microbial Nexus for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment: Resources, Efficiency, and Reuse, ventures into the dynamic world of microbial ecosystems, unveiling their pivotal role in reshaping wastewater treatment technologies. This book addresses novel microbial techniques related to sustainable, efficient technologies of wastewater treatment and wastewater reuse as well as obtaining high-quality effluents from treatment pla...
