Nano-biotechnology for Waste Water Treatment [electronic resource] : Theory and Practices / edited by Jai Prakash Narain Rai, Shweta Saraswat.

Principles and potentials of nano-biotechnology -- Application of nano-biotechnology in municipal and industrial wastewater: An Overview -- Application of plant-based nanoparticles in wastewater decontamination -- Microbial synthesis of nanoparticles for waste water remediation -- Nano-materials for the Removal of Inorganic Contaminants from Industrial Wastewater.

This book embodies the potentials of nanobiotechnology-based water treatment techniques to provide a solid understanding of the subjects. Starting with a refresher of the basic conventional technologies which are now been integrated with nanomaterials for an efficient, viable, and eco-friendly treatment of contaminated water. The book covers various physical, chemical, and hybrid methods of nanobiomaterial synthesis and their fabrication for characterizing existing techniques. The book gives special attention to those nanotechnology-based approaches that promise easier, faster, and cheaper processes in contaminants monitoring and their treatment. Several case studies explain in an easy to understand format how employing nanobiomaterials as an indicator and analytical tool will enable students to learn about cleaning up the environment.
