Industry wastewater is a major contributor to environmental pollution
with chemicals such as dyes, acids, fungicides, and more creating a
threat to the environment. Nanocomposites of heterogeneous
photocatalysis can be used to cure such problems due to its efficiency
and ease of use, as well as the fact that it turns toxic chemicals
completely to carbon dioxide and inorganic acids. With toxic chemicals
posing a tremendous threat to ecological wellbeing and human health, it
is integral that a variety of nanocomposites are studied for their use
in the degradation of toxic and hazardous chemicals. Innovative
Nanocomposites for the Remediation and Decontamination of Wastewater
describes the synthesis of nanomaterials and its application for the
protection of the environment. It presents studies on the
photodegradation of the various toxic and hazardous chemicals by
different nanocomposites, as well as the decontamination of bodies of
water through the use of various nanocomposites. Covering topics such as
dye degradation, novel biomaterials, and structural modification, this
premier reference source is a vital resource for environmental
scientists, construction managers, compliance officers, biochemists,
biophysicists, conservation scientists, hydrologists, microbiologists,
libraries, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and
academicians.
