Presents novel, nanotechnology-based solutions for urgent environmental
engineering problems
Clear and concise from beginning to end, this book focuses on the design
and application of artificially intelligent nanomaterials, which help in
solving many tangible environmental problems?especially water and air
pollution. It lays out the design concepts, major chemical principles,
and materials considerations of artificially intelligent nanomaterials
for environmental engineering, and provides proof-of-concept examples
such as improved filtration membranes, nanofibrous air filters, and
molecularly imprinted nanomaterials.
Artificially Intelligent Nanomaterials: For Environmental Engineering
starts by describing the background of environmental nanotechnology, the
rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the current status of AI in
environmental engineering. It then looks at: intelligently functional
materials and responsive mechanisms; designing filtration membranes with
responsive gates; switchable wettability materials for controllable
oil/water separation; and self-healing materials for environmental
applications. The book continues with chapters that examine: emerging
nanofibrous air filters for PM2.5 removal; self-propelled nanomotors for
environmental applications; molecular imprinting in wastewater
treatment; and emerging synergistically multifunctional and all-in-one
nanomaterials and nanodevices in advanced environmental applications.
-Presents the state-of-the-art in environmental technology and puts
forward bold ideas for its advancement
-Addresses global challenges, including all important water and air
quality which are critical for human health and a sustainable future
-Concentrates on nanotechnology-enabled solutions for pollutant removal
from water and air
Artificially Intelligent Nanomaterials: For Environmental Engineering is
an ideal book for undergraduates, graduates, scientists, and
professionals in the fields of environmental science, material science,
chemistry, and chemistry engineering.
