Nanotechnology applications for wastewater research have a significant impact in maintaining the long-term quality, availability, and viability of water supplies.

Nanoclays in Water and Wastewater Treatment Technical, Economic and Scale-up Aspects presents a detailed review of cutting-edge research on the use of these materials in water applications including treatment, remediation, sensing, and pollution prevention.

Various nanoparticles and nanomaterials that could be used in water remediation (zeolites, carbon nanotubes, self-assembled monolayer on mesoporous supports, biopolymers, single-enzyme nanoparticles, zero-valent iron nanoparticles, bimetallic iron nanoparticles, and nanoscale semiconductor photocatalysts) are discussed. The book also covers waterborne infectious diseases as well as waterborne pathogens, microbes, and toxicity.

The book will be a valuable reference resource for academic researchers and professional engineers who are working on the development of supported catalysts for wastewater treatment applications.
