Elsevier Emerging Nanomaterials for Recovery of Toxic and Radioactive Metal Ions from Environmental Media

Emerging Nanomaterials for Recovery of Toxic and Radioactive Metal Ions from Environmental Media covers nanomaterials used in the environmental remediation of sites contaminated by toxic or radioactive heavy metals. The book comprehensively covers the use of MOF-based nanomaterials, COF-based nanomaterials, MXene-based nanomaterials, nZVI-based nanomaterials and carbon-based nanomaterials in remediation techniques and details the main interaction mechanisms between toxic/radioactive metal ions and the described novel nanomaterials through kinetic analysis, thermodynamic analysis, spectroscopic techniques and theoretical calculations. It provides a thorough reference on the use of the described novel nanomaterials for academics, researchers and advanced postgraduates in the environmental sciences and environmental chemistry. Review Comprehensively covers the environmental remediation of heavy metal ions and radionuclides by novel nanomaterials From the Back Cover <i>Emerging Nanomaterials for Recovery of Toxic and Radioactive Metal Ions from Environmental Media </i>presents several novel nanomaterials for use in environmental remediation of sites contaminated by toxic or radioactive heavy metals. It comprehensively covers the use of MOF-based nanomaterials, COF-based nanomaterials, MXene-based nanomaterials, nZVI-based nanomaterials, and carbon-based nanomaterials in remediation techniques and also details the main interaction mechanisms between toxic/radioactive metal ions and the described novel nanomaterials through kinetic analysis, thermodynamic analysis, spectroscopic techniques and theoretical calculations, to better understand the basic principles of functionalization of nanomaterials in environmental science. <i> <p>Emerging Nanomaterials for Recovery of Toxic and Radioactive Metal Ions from Environmental Media </p></i><p>will provide a thorough reference on the use of the described novel nanomaterials for academics, researchers and advanced postgraduates in environmental science, environmental chemistry and any related field that need the most recent methodologies for environmental remediation of radioactive and toxic metal ions. This will also be a valuable read for anyone studying emerging nanomaterials who need to research their environmental applications.</p> About the Author Xiangke Wang is a professor in the School of Environment and Chemical Engineering at North China Electric Power University.
