Sodium Alginate-Based Nanomaterials for Wastewater Treatment [EPUB ebook] 

Sodium Alginate-based Nanomaterials for Wastewater Treatment offers detailed coverage of fundamentals and recent advances in sodium alginate-based nanomaterials for wastewater treatment. The book provides a detailed overview of the development and application of nanomaterials-based sodium alginate so that new methods can be put in place for efficient wastewater treatment. This includes illustrating how nanomaterials have enabled the formation of nanocomposites or blends of sodium alginate with other compounds like chitosan for the effective removal of heavy metals from wastewater. This important reference source for materials scientists and environmental engineers comprehensively covers nanotechnology applications in efficient wastewater treatment solutions. – Shows how sodium alginate is being used for the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants from wastewater- Explains the formation and application of sodium alginate- based beads, electro-spun fibers, nanofibers, blends and zerovalent sodium alginate- Discusses the future potential of nanomaterial-based sodium alginate and its blends
