Aquananotechnology: Opportunities in Water Remediation and Aquaculture

This book is a follow-on to K14884, "Aquananotechnology: Global Prospects". This project is a unique introduction to the application of nanotechnology to the remediation of contaminated water for drinking and industrial use. The world's fresh water supplies are dwindling rapidly. Even wastewater is now considered an asset. Author contributions include experts from both developed and developing countries, including those with severe contamination, e.g., China, India and Pakistan. Some approaches to remediation to be explored include high surface area nanoscale media for adsorption of toxic species, UV treatment of pathogens and regeneration of saturated media, etc.
