DESCRIPTION:

This book highlights the innovations and techniques to identify and treat emerging pollutants in waste and polluted water. It begins with the classification of emerging pollutants and is followed by a review on existing detection and elimination techniques as well as the current regulations in place. Subsequent chapters cover membrane-based separation processes, polymer-based or resin-based water filters, functional materials, nanomaterials-based adsorbents, microplastics and a summary of the potential solutions in treating or removing emerging pollutants.

Features

• • Presents an overview of current and developing treatment technologies for water polluted with emerging pollutants

• • Gives an in-depth account and analysis of advanced materials and methods for separation and treatment

• • Reviews analytical techniques applied to detect emerging pollutants

• • Discusses the overall effect of policies on current chemicals/plastics/APIs in the market

• • Includes pertinent case studies and regulations

This book is aimed at researchers, professionals and graduate students in environmental, civil and chemical engineering and waste and drinking water treatment.
