Modified Clay and Zeolite Nanocomposite Materials: Environmental and Pharmaceutical Applications retraces the most important knowledge gaps that the scientific community is facing, including a drawback of real-world applications. This valuable resource explores the novel applications of this group of nanomaterials that can be suitably surface-modified to obtain properties that can be applied in environmental and pharmaceutical fields. For example, modification with surfactants has given new motivation to the study of these materials by producing an inversion in the ion exchange behavior from cationic to anionic. This strategy has paved the way for new uses highlighted in this timely resource.

Explores the combination of both minerals (clay and zeolite) together, with their application in two broad areas of emerging research Explains better utilization and applications for modified clay and zeolite through detailed comparative studies Consolidates information on the modification and tuning of clay and zeolite materials for novelty applications Helps users in the selection of materials, surface features, and other functionalization for diverse applications

Bioremediation of Emerging Contaminants from Soil using Biochar: Theory and Practices covers the pressing issue of contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) in the soil ecosystem, emphasizing the threat they pose to environmental health. With a focus on pollutants like microplastic compounds, phenols, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, and more, the book explores the use of biochar as a cost-effective and efficient solution for soil remediation. It highlights the importance of surface modified nanobiochar and other innovative approaches in tackling these pollutants effectively. The TOC includes sections on the occurrence and fates of contaminants in soil, agroecological consequences, recent advancements in biochar production, and more.Chapters cover topics such as biochar-assisted removal of micro/nano plastics, decontamination of personal care products, and phyto-remediation of contaminants. Future prospects and challenges in biochar-led remediation are also discussed, making it a comprehensive resource for those interested in environmental cleanup technologies. This edited book will be valuable for undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers, and professors exploring biochar applications in bioremediation. It offers insights into high-quality biochar production and its role in remediating soil and aqueous ecosystems, particularly in addressing emerging contaminants and heavy metals.Analyzes the diverse range of biochar applications for efficient bioremediation of emerging contaminants, providing in-depth insights into soil ecosystem restoration strategiesEvaluates the effectiveness of surface modified nanobiochar and other advanced biochar techniques in mitigating the impacts of pollutants on environmental and human healthApplies innovative approaches by synthesizing knowledge from the book to develop sustainable solutions for bioremediation challenges, integrating biochar technologies with modern environmental cleanup strategies
