Nanotechnology for Oil-Water Separation

Angebote / Angebote:

The increasing amounts of industrial substances released by petrochemical, steel, or gas-generating plants and food-processing factories into water poses an ever more serious environmental threat. Due to the significant adverse impact on the natural ecosystem, aquatic organisms, and human health, the scientific community has made its priority to find sustainable methods to separate oil-water mixtures. The design and fabrication of low-cost, effective, and environmentally friendly micro/nanomaterials exhibiting strong wettability properties and mechanical and chemical stability are examined in this context. Nanotechnology for Oil-Water Separation explores how nanotechnologically engineered solutions (modified meshes, carbon nanotubes, functionalized fabrics, textile or hybrid elements for bio-membranes, nanofibrous materials, and many more) can be used to remediate the current damage to the environment for a better tomorrow. Current research developments and possible future directions are also examined in depth, making this book an essential read for researchers, advanced students, and industry professionals with an interest in nanotechnology and sustainable (bio)technologies.
