      abstract = {This book discusses new and innovative trends and  techniques in the application of nanotechnology to  industrial wastewater treatment both at a laboratory scale  and an industry scale, including treatment, remediation,  sensing and pollution prevention. The book also explores  unique physicochemical and surface properties of  nanoparticles; it highlights advantages they provide for  engineering applications. Each chapter covers a different  nanotechnology-based approach and examines basic  principles, practical applications, recent breakthroughs  and associated limitations. Nanotechnology applications to  wastewater research have significant impact in maintaining  the long-term quality, availability and viability of water.  Regardless of the origin -- for example, municipal or  industrial wastewater -- the remediation nanotechnology  allows water to be recycled and desalinized in addition to  simultaneously detecting biological and chemical  contamination. The book describes a broad area of  nanotechnology and water research where membrane processes  (nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and  nanoreactive membranes) are considered key components of  advanced water purification and desalination technologies  that remove, reduce or neutralize water contaminants.  Various nanoparticles and nanomaterials that could be used  in water remediation (zeolites, carbon nanotubes,  self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports,  biopolymers, single-enzyme nanoparticles, zero-valent iron  nanoparticles, bimetallic iron nanoparticles and nanoscale  semiconductor photocatalysts) are also discussed. This book  is beneficial for students and academicians to understand  the recent research advancements in the field.},
