This book reviews the work in the field of nanoadsorbents derived from
natural polymers, with a special emphasis on materials finding
application in water remediation. It includes natural materials both
with an organic or an inorganic skeleton, from which the nanomaterials
can be made. Those nanomaterials can therefore be used to reinforce
other matrices and in their pristine form have an extraordinary
adsorption efficiency. Being of natural or biological origin, the
materials described in this book distinguish themselves as eco-friendly
and non-toxic. The book describes how these benefits of the described
materials can be combined and exploited. It will thus appeal to
chemists, nanotechnologists, environmental engineers and generally all
scientist working in the field of water pollution and remediation as an
inspiration for the innovation toward new technologies.
