Water Treatment Using Engineered Carbon Nanotubes provides complete and detailed information on carbon nanotubes for wastewater treatment, covering preparation, properties, and application. The book begins by introducing the cross-disciplinary fundamentals of pollutants, water treatment, and carbon-based nanomaterials, followed by chapters focusing on the adsorption mechanisms, properties, modelling, and preparation techniques for carbon nanotube-based materials in the context of wastewater treatment. The subsequent sections of the book focus on specific applications of carbon nanotubes in removal of pollutants and as catalysts of co-catalysts for water treatment. Finally, other novel applications, key challenges, and research trends are discussed. This is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students across nanotechnology, materials science, environmental science, chemical engineering, chemistry, biotechnology, sustainability, and engineering, as well as scientists, engineers, and R&D professionals with an interest in advanced nanomaterials for water treatment and environmental protection. - Explains the synthesis, functionalization, and properties of carbon nanotubes for water treatment - Offers comprehensive coverage of a range of carbon nanotube-based materials and technologies - Addresses key challenges, research trends, and future opportunities in this innovative field
