Novel nanoscale materials are now an essential part of meeting the current and future needs for clean water, and are at the heart of the development of novel technologies to desalinate water. The unique properties of nanomaterials and their convergence with current treatment technologies present great opportunities to revolutionize water and wastewater treatment. Nanoscale Materials for Water Purification brings together sustainable solutions using novel nanomaterials to alleviate the physical effects of water scarcity.

This book covers a wide range of nanomaterials, including noble metal nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, dendrimers, bioactive nanoparticles, polysaccharidebased nanoparticles, nanocatalysts, and redox nanoparticles for water purification. Significant properties and characterization methods of nanomaterials such as surface morphology, mechanical properties, and adsorption capacities are also investigated

Explains how the unique properties of a range of nanomaterials makes them important water purification agents Shows how the use of nanotechnology can help create cheaper, more reliable, less energy-intensive, more environmentally friendly water purification techniques Includes case studies to show how nanotechnology has successfully been integrated into water purification system design

Nanocellulose for Water Purification: Advancements, Applications, and Environmental Impact provides a comprehensive overview on the properties, modifications, and applications of nanocellulose-based materials for addressing water pollution. Initial chapters introduce the fundamental aspects of nanocellulose, including its origin, characteristics, and properties, while subsequent chapters discuss surface functionalization and modification techniques that improve the adsorption capabilities of nanocellulose. Next, readers will find an overview of the different forms of nanocellulose-based adsorbents, such as films, membranes, hydrogels, and aerogels, highlighting their effectiveness in removing various pollutants, including agrochemicals, organic solvents, cationic and anionic dyes, heavy metals, lipids, and pharmaceutical contaminants.The final chapters address the environmental and economic implications of nanocellulose advancements in water purification technologies and discuss the challenges and future directions in the field. This book serves as an important resource for researchers and industry professionals in nanotechnology, materials science, polymer science, environmental engineering, and chemical engineering, providing detailed information on the innovative use of nanocellulose in water treatment applications.Offers comprehensive coverage of nanocellulose-based materials, detailing their properties, synthesis, and functionalizationReviews the different forms of nanocelluloses, such as films, membranes, hydrogels, and aerogels, highlighting their effectiveness in removing pollutantsFeatures practical applications and case studies, demonstrating the effectiveness of nanocellulose-based materials in various water treatment scenarios
