Sodium Alginate-Based Nanomaterials for Wastewater Treatment

Sodium Alginate-based Nanomaterials for Wastewater Treatment offers detailed coverage of the fundamentals and recent advances in sodium alginate-based nanomaterials for wastewater treatment. Sodium alginate shows efficiency in wastewater treatment due to its unique gelling and viscous nature. The effectiveness of sodium alginate in treating wastewater is enhanced using nanomaterials. Nanomaterial-based sodium alginate offers outstanding improvements in wastewater treatment when compared to the application of conventional sodium alginate.

This 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 removal of heavy metals from wastewater effectively.

This is an important reference source for materials scientists and environmental engineers who are seeking to learn more about how nanotechnology is being used to create more efficient wastewater treatment solutions.
