Nanotechnology for Water Purification, Paperback by Dey, Tania (EDT), ISBN 1612336191, ISBN-13 9781612336190, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK

This book describes how cutting-edge nanotechnology can be used to address today’s burning issue of water pollution. This book is written from materials science perspective and not from the bio-treatment point of view. The strength of this book lies in covering a wide range of nanomaterials (. magnetic nanoparticles, cellulose nanofibers, carbon nanotubes, silver-impregnated cyclodextrin nanocomposites, nanostructured iron-zeolites, carbo-iron nanomaterials, photocatalytic titania nanoparticles, nanofiltration membranes and functionalized silica nanoparticles), clearly elucidating the science behind their specific applications and including ecological risk assessment at the end. These 10 chapters are primarily based on literature review and not just on authors’ own research work. This book will be a useful reference for scientists working in the same field. Dey has worked as a research scientist in colloid/polymer science, advanced materials and nanotechnology. No index is provided. (Annotation ©2013 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
