Emerging Pollutant Treatment in Wastewater

This book highlights the innovations and techniques to identify and treat the emerging pollutants in waste and polluted water. It initiates with classification of emerging pollutants followed by a review on existing detection and elimination techniques, and current regulations in place. Subsequent chapters cover membrane-based separation process, polymer-based or resin-based water filters, functional materials, nanomaterials-based adsorbents, microplastics, and summary of the potential solutions in treating or removing emerging pollutants. FeaturesPresents an overview of current and developing treatment technologies for water polluted with emerging pollutants Gives in-depth account and analysis of advanced materials and methods for separation and treatment Reviews analytical techniques applied to detect emerging pollutants Discusses overall effect of policies on current chemicals/plastics/APIs in the market Includes pertinent case studies and regulations The book is aimed at researchers, professionals and graduate students in environmental/civil/chemical engineering, wastewater/drinking water treatment.
