Synopsis

Nanostructured Photocatalysts: From Fundamental to Practical Applications offers a good opportunity for academic, industrial researchers and engineers to gain insights on the fundamental principles and updated knowledge on the engineering aspects and various practical applications of photocatalysis. This book comprehensively and systematically reviews photocatalytic fundamental aspects, ranging from reaction mechanism, kinetic modeling, nanocatalyst synthesis and design, essential material characterization using advanced techniques, and novel reactor design and scale-up. Future perspectives, techno-economical evaluation and lifecycle assessment of photocatalytic processes are also provided.

Finally, a wide range of practical, important and emerging photocatalytic applications, namely wastewater treatment, air pollution remediation, renewable and green energy generation, and vital chemical production are thoroughly covered, making this book useful and beneficial for engineers, scientists, academic researchers, undergraduates and postgraduates.

À propos des auteurs

Van-Huy Nguyen received the B.S. degree (2008) in Environmental Engineering from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and M.S. degree (2010) in Chemical Engineering from National Taiwan University (NTU). He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology in 2015. Dr. Nguyen was previously a Post-doctoral Fellow at National Taiwan University. He has gained the knowledge and experiences from working in both academia and industry. Prior to joining Duy Tan University, he worked for Nan Pao (Vietnam), and Ton Duc Thang University as a Principal Investigator and Research Fellow, respectively. He also works as a Principal Researcher at Lac Hong University. Dr. Nguyen has published over 25 peer-reviewed journal articles, 3 book chapters and has presented at many international conferences. He is also the Guest-Editor of three Special Issues in respected journals such as the Journal of Chemical Technology & Biotechnology (Wiley), Arabian Journal of Chemistry (Elsevier), and Topics in Catalysis (Springer). Dr. Nguyen is also an active reviewer for many high-impact journals published by Elsevier, RSC, MDPI, and Frontiers Publishers. His research works have gained wide interest through his highly-cited research publications, book chapters, conference presentations, and workshop lectures. His research focuses on chemical and materials aspects of (photo)catalytic processes and a basic understanding of (photo)catalysts, with emphasis on applied to environmental problems and production of clean energy.

Dai-Viet N. Vo is deputy director of the Institute of Applied Technology and Sustainable Development, Nguyen Tat Thanh University, in Vietnam. He worked as the principal investigator and co-investigator for 23 different funded research projects related to sustainable and alternative energy, and published two books, 15 book chapters, more than 300 peer-reviewed journals including 101 prestigious review articles, and more than 80 conference proceedings. Dr. Vo is an assistant subject editor for the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy (Elsevier) and guest editor for several special issues in high-impact factor journals such as the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy (Elsevier), Comptes Rendus Chimie (Elsevier), Chemical Engineering Science (Elsevier), and Topics in Catalysis (Springer), amongst others.

Dr. Sonil Nanda is an Assistant Professor and Canada Research Chair in "Clean Agricultural Technology and Energy" in the Department of Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture at Dalhousie University, Canada. He received his Ph.D. in Biology from York University, Canada; his M.Sc. in Applied Microbiology from Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT University), India; and his B.Sc. in Microbiology from the Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, India. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at York University and the University of Western Ontario and a Research Associate in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada. He was the Director of Research and Development at Titan Clean Energy Projects Corporation in Craik, Saskatchewan. Dr. Nanda's research areas focus on producing advanced biofuels and biochemicals through thermochemical and biochemical conversion technologies, including gasification, pyrolysis, carbonization, torrefaction, and fermentation. He has gained expertise in the hydrothermal gasification of various organic wastes and biomass, including agricultural and forestry residues, industrial effluents, municipal solid waste, cattle manure, sewage sludge, food wastes, waste tires, and petroleum residues to produce hydrogen fuel. His parallel interests are generating hydrothermal flames for treating hazardous wastes, agronomic biochar applications, phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils, and carbon capture and sequestration. Dr. Nanda has published 19 edited books, 85 book chapters, and more than 165 peer-reviewed journal articles. He is the editor of some popular books entitled "Emerging Biofuels" (Elsevier), "Biomass to Bioenergy: Modern Technological Strategies for Biorefineries" (Elsevier), "Innovations in Thermochemical Technologies for Biofuel Processing" (Elsevier), "New Dimensions in Production and Utilization of Hydrogen" (Elsevier), "Biorefinery of Alternative Resources: Targeting Green Fuels and Platform Chemicals" (Springer Nature), "Recent Advancements in Biofuels and Bioenergy Utilization" (Springer Nature), "Catalytic and Noncatalytic Upgrading of Oils" (American Chemical Society), "Fuel Processing and Energy Utilization" (CRC Press), "Bioprocessing of Biofuels" (CRC Press), "Progressive Thermochemical Biorefining Technologies" (CRC Press), "Algal Biorefinery: Developments, Challenges and Opportunities" (Routledge), "Biohydrogen: Developments and Prospects" (Apple Academic Press), and "Biomethane: Developments and Prospects" (Apple Academic Press). Dr. Nanda is a fellow member of the Society for Applied Biotechnology in India and a life member of the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers, the Association of Microbiologists of India, the Indian Science Congress Association, and the Biotech Research Society of India. He is also a member of several chemical engineering societies across North America, such as the American Chemical Society, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the Chemical Institute of Canada, the Combustion Institute-Canadian Section, and Engineers Without Borders Canada. Dr. Nanda is an Assistant Subject Editor of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy (Elsevier) as well as an Associate Editor of Environmental Chemistry Letters (Springer Nature) and Applied Nanoscience (Springer Nature). He has also edited several Special Issues in renowned journals such as the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy (Elsevier), Chemical Engineering Science (Elsevier), Catalysis Today (Elsevier), Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery (Springer Nature), Waste and Biomass Valorization (Springer Nature), Topics in Catalysis (Springer Nature), SN Applied Sciences (Springer Nature), Chemical Engineering & Technology (Wiley), and The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering (Wiley).
