Green Chemistry and Water Remediation: Research and Applications

Water remediation is an essential tool in reducing the environmental impact of pollutants in the environment. Green Chemistry and Water Remediation explores how integrating the principles of green chemistry into remediation research and practise can have a great impact from multiple directions. This volume reviews both common sources of chemical pollution, and how using green chemistry as the basis for new or improved remediation techniques can ensure that remediation itself is conducted in a sustainable way. By outlining the main types of chemical pollutants in water and sustainable ways to address them, the authors hope to help chemists identify key areas to be addressed and encourage them to integrate green chemistry principles into the design of new processes and products to help minimize such waste. At the same time, they highlight and encourage use of the growing range of green remediation approaches available to experts, helping researchers, planners and managers make informed decisions in their selection of remediation techniques. Puts the naturally-aligned fields of green chemistry and environmental remediation in context, providing key background to bothHighlights the use of both established and cutting-edge techniques for sustainable water remediation including nanotechnology, biofiltration and phytoremediationExplores the potential impact of policy and sustainability goals in chemical waste production and water remediation INDICE: Part 1.
