Photocatalytic Dye Degradation Using Green Polymeric-Based Nanostructures (eBook, ePUB)

Principles and applications in wastewater treatment

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Contamination in the environment is a major concern because of the harmful effects on ecosystems and human health. As a type of synthetic organic chemical used in a range of applications, dyes are increasingly common industry-contributed pollutants. With the discovery of heterogeneous photocatalysis, nanostructures have emerged as some of the most promising candidates for the removal of dyes from contaminated water due to their unique physiochemical properties.

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the primary, secondary, and tertiary wastewater treatment systems that are in use across the globe. Each strategy is discussed in relation to its cost, which will be useful for those looking to implement a technology that is both affordable and effective. A comprehensive analysis of photocatalysis and the various mechanisms involved, as well as the factors that influence these processes, is presented. The book provides findings of an in-depth investigation into dyes, the different types of dyes, the methods used to prepare them, and the threats that they present to both humans and the environment. This book concludes with a discussion of the chemistry of green biopolymers and their doping impact with metal, metal oxides, and metal sulphide nanomaterials.

The book will appeal to researchers and postgraduate students working in the fields of materials science, nanoscience and nanotechnology for environmental remediation, particularly green polymers, degradation of dyes, photocatalysis and wastewater treatment.
