Aquananotechnology: Applications of Nanomaterials for Water Purification delves into the profound implications and potential opportunities arising from the integration of nanotechnology in water purification. It explores the multifaceted effects and societal considerations associated with the widespread application of nanotechnology in the water sector. The book encompasses various aspects, including the utilization of nano-sensors for the precise detection of water pollutants, the effective management of waterborne pathogens, and the innovative use of nano-biochar coal fly composites for phytoremediations, effectively addressing wastewater pollutants. Furthermore, it delves into the applications of nanoadsorbents for the removal of heavy metals, dyes, arsenic, pesticides, and various water/wastewater contaminants. Additionally, the book explores the use of bionanocomposites, metal oxides, silver, zinc nanoparticles, and carbon-based nanomaterials for wastewater treatment, ensuring the comprehensive remediation and decontamination of water from harmful xenobiotics. Moreover, the book covers the utilization of zerovalent iron nanomaterials and nanostructured mesoporous silica for water purification, alongside nano-hydrogels to enhance water efficiency and conservation. Finally, it addresses the socioeconomic impacts and risks associated with aquananotechnology in ecosystems, providing a comprehensive examination of both the significant benefits and formidable challenges inherent in this field. This comprehensive book offers a detailed account of the ecological applications of nanomaterials in aquatic environments, presenting a robust analysis of both prominent applications and the attendant challenges.
