Engineered Biocomposites for Dye Adsorption compiles and discusses applications, mechanisms, and performance evaluation of various biocomposites during dye adsorption. The book analyzes the techno-economic and life-cycle assessment of biocomposites for dye adsorption. It highlights different adsorbent materials for dye degradation and resource recovery ranging from but not limited to activated carbon, biochar, hydrochar, pyrochar, waste fruits, waste industrial sludge, geological materials, graphene, carbon nanotubes, MXene, polymers, metals, nanomaterials, and metal-organic frameworks.The book shows how combining materials such as biocomposites significantly yields better dye adsorption than a single material and addresses conventional issues with adsorption such as adsorbent cost, effectiveness, regeneration, and sustainability and provides insights into the preparation and use of new adsorbent materials for dye removal from aqueous solutions. The information contained in this book will increase readers’ fundamental knowledge, guide future researchers, and can be incorporated into future works on experimental studies on dye adsorption. As such it serves as an indispensable resource and reference work for engineers, wastewater specialists, biotechnologists, chemists, microbiologists, researchers, and students studying industrial effluents, biomass, bioproducts, and adsorption processes.Offers a collection of the state-of-the-art dye removal methods using conventional and advanced/new adsorbentsProvides a detailed understanding of the methods of preparation and properties of new adsorbents and biocompositesIncludes applications of biocomposite adsorbents in dye removal, their effectiveness and limitations, and process optimization

Biochar Applications: Advances in Environmental Remediation and Resource Recovery provides a combined approach between environmental science and environmental engineering that involves the improvement of the natural environment, or the remediation, of polluted sites. In addition, it discusses bioprocess engineering, including the synthesis, modification, characterization, and management of biochar from biomass waste materials. The book includes coverage on sources, impacts, and applications of biochar that could potentially be used as catalysts to enhance environmental remediation and resource recovery processes. Examples of applied research that demonstrate the relationship between wastewater, soil, contaminated environments, remediation, resource recovery, sustainability, and circular bioeconomy are also included.The book bridges the gap between biochar applications in wastewater treatment, soil improvement, gas mitigation, and resource recovery.Provides advancements in the sustainable application of biochar in wastewater treatment processes, including adsorption, membrane, chemical and advanced oxidation, photocatalysis, filtration, constructed wetlands, aerobic activated sludge processes, and moreHighlights the significant contributions of biochar in the improvement of contaminated sitesExamines trends and current practices in the application of biochar for resource recovery, lifecycle assessment, and the mitigation of greenhouse and toxic gases from the environment
