Nano-Enabled Technologies for Water Remediation highlights several aspects of wastewater treatment using low-dimensional carbon-based materials. The book also focuses on advances in membrane-based separation, specifically on the pressure driven membrane process. In the case of membrane advances, the focus is exclusively on metal and metal oxide, mixed matrix membranes, GO, and CNT loaded membranes for targeted pollutant removal. Further, new and upcoming technologies of membrane preparation, via the electrospinning method, and advances in membrane distillation and wastewater remediation are discussed.

In addition, the book includes coverage of recent advances occurring in sustainable technologies for wastewater remediation with bio-active nanomaterials, bio-inspired, and bio-templated nanomaterials which assist readers in gaining a new perspective for implementing nature-mimicked designs for water treatment and conservation.

Covers fundamental theories for complex technologies so that the readers do not need to sift through large quantities of available literature Provides information on major nano-enabled technologies for wastewater treatment, such as composite membranes, electrospun nanofibrous membranes, visible-light catalysts, multi-functional adsorbents, hydrogels, bio-active materials, bio-inspired materials, and more Assesses the major challenges to integrating nanotechnology solutions to water remediation processes in a scalable and cost-efficient manner

Most of the pipelines used for the transport of various fluids are susceptible to the formation of biofilms, and the undesirable accumulation of microorganisms in pipelines leads to biodeterioration and increases the maintenance cost of the pipelines. This book focuses on nanostructured polymetallic coatings for corrosion and biofouling protection in offshore oil and gas pipelines, marine pipelines, ship structures and port facilities, and corrosion resistance surfaces of several engineered structures. Considering various reasons of biofouling in pipelines that transport crude and refined petroleum, gas, biofuels, and other fluids including sewage, slurry, and water for drinking or irrigation, the underlying mechanism is thoroughly explained. A comparison of various protective techniques is also highlighted for the choice of methods for specific applications.

Features:

Provides information on biofouling control with broad significance and applicability in various industrial and research areas.

Discusses microbially induced corrosion on biofuel transporting pipelines.

Includes data from experiments conducted to overcome biofouling and biocorrosion.

Gives out particular attention to metallic coatings and environmental considerations.

Explores novel technologies preventing biofouling on metallic and polymeric substrates.

This book is for researchers and graduate students in Coatings and Paints, Microbiology, Bioprocess Engineering, Biotechnology, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering, Marine Engineering, Surface and Corrosion Engineering, and Water and Wastewater Treatment.
