Synopsis

Aquananotechnology: Applications of Nanomaterials for Water Purification focuses on the impacts of, and opportunities for, the application of nanotechnology to enhance water quality and the societal concerns surrounding the widespread use of nanotechnology in the water arena. Sections cover the use of nano-sensors for the detection of water pollutants, the control of waterborne pathogens, and the use of nano-biochar coal fly composites for phytoremdtions wastewater pollutants. In addition, the book explores the uses of nanoadsorbents for heavy metals, dyes, Arsenic, pesticides, and water/wastewater remediation and decontamination of water from xenobiotics, bionanocomposites, metal oxides, silver, zinc nanoparticles, and carbon-based nanomaterials for wastewater treatment.

In addition, the book covers the use of zerovalent iron nanomaterials and nanostructured mesoporous silica for water purification, along with nano-hydrogels to increase water efficiency and conservation. Finally, the socioeconomic impacts and risks of aquananotechnology in ecosystems are discussed. This book provides a detailed description of the ecological applications of nanomaterials in aquatic environments, offering a cogent analysis of both major applications and challenges.

He published 20 books related to nano-biotechnology applications in agriculture and plant protection. Since 2019, he has served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Elsevier book series "Nanobiotechnology for Plant Protection." He also serves as the Series Editor of the Elsevier book series "Genome Modified Plants and Microbes in Food and Agriculture."

Dr. Muhammad Zahid, is currently working as Associate professor, at the Department of Chemistry, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan

He have been working on the synthesis of advanced materials such as graphene, graphene oxide, graphitic carbon nitride and their nano-composites (magnetic, polymer, binary, ternary, bio- composites etc.). These materials have interesting properties such as electrical, optical and mechanical properties etc. The application of these nanomaterials and their composites are being studied in photocatalysis, wastewater treatment. EMI shielding, etc.
