Green Chemistry for Dyes Removal from Waste Water

Sanjay K. Sharma is Professor and Head of the Department of Chemistry, JECRC University, Jaipur, India, where he teaches engineering chemistry, environmental chemistry, green chemistry, spectroscopy and organic chemistry. He has published 16 books on chemistry and more than 60 research papers. Dr. Sharma is also serving as Editor-in-Chief for the RASAYAN Journal of Chemistry. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK), member of the American Chemical Society and International Society for Environmental Information Sciences (ISEIS, Canada).

"In conclusion, the authors have been successful in providing a holistic account of various green technologies which have immense potential in dye removal from wastewater. . . Therefore, I recommend the book for postgraduate students, PhD scholars and researchers working in the concerned research areas.”  (Green Processing and Synthesis, 1 November 2015)
