This second edition showcases cutting-edge applications of carbon-based nanomaterials, with a particular focus on wastewater contaminant removal, introducting advanced carbon nanoadsorbents such as carbon quantum dots and 3D graphene structures. The book presents updated insights into water treatment technologies, drug delivery systems, and nanosensors. Chapters cover adsorption mechanisms, the properties and environmental uses of various carbon nanomaterials, kinetic and equilibrium modeling, and emerging instrumental techniques. A newly added chapter explores the use of mathematical and AI-driven models to optimize adsorption processes. With a strong emphasis on practical applications, this book is an essential resource for students and researchers exploring the real-world potential of carbon nanomaterials as nanoadsorbents.

This book presents a summary of the current use of carbon nanomaterials for water treatment, drug delivery, systems and nanosensors. The first chapter elucidates the adsorption process phenomenon. Also, the properties of different carbon nanomaterials for adsorption applications are covered. The third chapter presents the kinetic and equilibrium models of adsorption, processing of experimental data and adsorption process peculiarities. Environmental and biological applications of carbon nanomaterials are listed in the last chapter. This book is written from an application-oriented perspective and is useful for all those interested in nanoadsorbents.
