Advanced Composite Materials for Wastewater Treatment

Advanced Composite Materials for Wastewater Treatment presents the latest technological advancements in this important research field. This book explores recent advances in manufacturing, fabrication, and the introduction of functional groups such as tailored layered double hydroxide (LDH)-based nanocomposites and 3-dimensional (3D) hierarchical nanostructures. Amongst several discussed composites, those that show maximum efficiency including graphene composites, bio-based composites (alginate, natural fiber, rubber, etc.); biochar; metal-organic frameworks (MOF); geopolymers; nanocomposites; and layered double hydroxide, are all discussed. The book will be an essential reference resource for researchers, scientists, and industrial professionals as well as postgraduate students providing them with an in-depth understanding of cutting-edge developments in this field. It provides readers with an overview of the evolution of carbon-based materials and composites in water and wastewater treatment applications.
