Environmental nanotechnology is considered to play a key role in shaping of current environmental engineering and science practices. This book titled "Environmental Nanotechnology" covers the advanced materials, devices, and system development for use in the environmental protection. The development of nano-based materials, understanding their chemistry and characterization using techniques like X- Ray diffraction, FT-IR, EDX, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), high resolution-TEM, etc is included. It also highlights the scope for their applications in environmental protection, environmental remediation and environmental biosensors for detection, monitoring and assessment.

Key Features:

- Covers basic to advanced Nano-based materials, their synthesis, development, characterization and applications and all the updated information related to environmental nanotechnology.

- Discusses implications of nanomaterials on the environment and applications of nanotechnology to protect the environment.

- Illustrates specific topics such as ethics of nanotechnology development, Nano-biotechnology, and application in wastewater technology.

- Includes applications of nanomaterials for combating global climate change and carbon sequestration.

- Gives examples of field applications of environmental nanotechnology.
