This book offers lucid treatment of fundamental concepts related to potential applications and prospects of different membranes for wastewater decontamination by removing heavy metals. Divided into four sections, it provides an overview of different sources of water contamination, their impacts on human health and the environment, and compares traditional methods used to nullify these impacts. Further, it covers different mature membrane technologies such as polymeric membranes, poly-ceramic membranes, carbon-based membranes and many more, followed by pertinent case studies.Features:Focuses on the removal of heavy metals using membrane-based technologiesDiscusses pertinent criteria to select suitable membranesIncludes feasibility studies and applications of different mature and emerging membranesDescribes heavy metals' occurrence and transport in an aqueous system with an overview of the adverse effectsReviews challenges and opportunities associated with using different membranesThis book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in materials science, water engineering and wastewater treatment.

This book delves into the cutting-edge applications of graphene-based photocatalysts, unveiling their immense potential in addressing two critical global challenges: sustainable hydrogen production and environmental remediation.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments to valorize fish waste as a source of useful products. In the first few chapters, an introductory section unearths global fish waste production, its detrimental effects and its role in the circular economy. The next section of the book discusses recent applications of fish waste and by-products utilization for the production of useful products such as fertilizers, biogas, biodiesel, fish sauce, enzymes and many more. This book will serve as an important source of recent research developments and applications of fish waste generated at different stages of fish processing. This book will also act as an important reference to the research group conducting research on fish and fish by-product utilization and valorization.
