Emerging Techniques for Treatment of Toxic Metals from Wastewater

Rapid industrial development and urbanization have led to the degradation of water quality. Emerging Techniques for Treatment of Toxic Metals from Wastewater explores in detail the different physical and chemical methods that can be used to remove toxins from wastewater, including adsorption, solvent extraction, ion exchange, precipitation, filtration and photocatalytic degradation. Bringing together contributions from leading experts in the field, the book covers each of the different techniques in detail, combining emergent research outcomes with fundamental theoretical concepts to provide a clear appraisal of the different techniques available as well as their applications. It is an essential recourse for researchers, industrialists and students concerned with the remediation of toxic metals from water and wastewater.
