Nanoscale Materials in Water Purification by Sabu Thomas

Novel nanoscale materials are now an essential part of meeting the current and future needs for clean water, and are at the heart of the development of novel technologies to desalinate water. The unique properties of nanomaterials and their convergence with current treatment technologies present great opportunities to revolutionize water and wastewater treatment. Nanoscale Materials for Water Purification brings together sustainable solutions using novel nanomaterials to alleviate the physical effects of water scarcity. This book covers a wide range of nanomaterials, including noble metal nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, dendrimers, bioactive nanoparticles, polysaccharidebased nanoparticles, nanocatalysts, and redox nanoparticles for water purification. Significant properties and characterization methods of nanomaterials such as surface morphology, mechanical properties, and adsorption capacities are also investigated

Sabu Thomas is currently an Emeritus Professor of Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala, India. He is the former Vice Chancellor of Mahatma Gandhi University and a Senior Professor of Christ University, Bangalore, India, as well as a visiting Professor at the Department of Chemical Sciences, University of Johannesburg, South Africa, Department of Chemical Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, and an Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Polymer and Process Engineering, IIT Roorkee, India. Dr. Pasquini graduated in Chemistry from the Federal University of Uberlândia in 1998. He earned his master's degree in Physicochemical Sciences in 2000 and his PhD in Physicochemical Sciences in 2004 from the University of São Paulo, Brazil. He completed a PhD internship in 2003 and a postdoctoral fellowship in 2005 at the École Française de Papeterie et des Industries Graphiques in Grenoble, France. From 2004 to 2008, Dr. Pasquini served as the coordinator of the Research and Development Group in Paints at AW Faber-Castell SA. He was an Assistant Researcher at the University of Aveiro's CICECO - Center for Research in Ceramic and Composite Materials between 2008 and 2009. Currently, he is a Professor at the Chemistry Institute of the Federal University of Uberlândia, Brazil, where he has coordinated the Postgraduate Program in Biofuels. Dr. Pasquini is actively involved in projects related to the valorization and chemical modification of plant macromolecules, as well as the development of new materials derived from renewable sources. His research focuses on applications such as polymer materials, composites, nanocomposites, nanofibers, spherical nanoparticles, and membranes. Shao-Yuan (Ben) Leu is Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong. His research focuses on the treatment of waste water. Deepu A. Gopakumar works as Post-doctoral fellow at School of Industrial Technology, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia. His research focuses on nanocellulose-based polymer membranes for water treatment.
