Metal-Oxide-Based Nanomaterials and their Advanced Environmental Applications

Metal-Oxide-Based Nanomaterials and their Advanced Environmental Applications addresses the application of metal-oxide-based materials in soil, water, and wastewater treatment remediation technologies. The book provides researchers, students, professors, and industry experts with fundamental and advanced information in the field of metal oxide materials for environmental applications. Metal oxides and their physical, magnetic, optical, and chemical characteristics are of increasing interest to researchers addressing soil, wastewater, groundwater, and surface water contamination. Novel materials based on metal oxides show remarkable sensitivity to alterations in their composition and structure, and lend themselves especially well to cutting-edge procedures or processes for environmental remediation. These materials are particularly promising for applications as adsorbents, catalysts, and sensors, among others.
