Bionanotechnology Towards Sustainable Management of Environmental Pollution

This book highlights the characteristics, aims, and applications of bionanotechnology as a possible solution for sustainable management and bioremediation of environmental pollutants. It covers remediation of toxic pollutants, removal of emerging contaminants from industrial wastewater, eco-design and modification study of bio-nanoparticles and life-cycle assessment, nano-filtration, bio-nanomaterials based sensors for monitoring air and water pollution, resource recovery from wastewater, and highlights Internet of things-based green nanotechnology.

• Provides a comprehensive solution of environmental problems in sustainable and cost-effective mode
• Reviews bionanotechnological applications in nanomaterials design, modification, and treatment of emerging contaminants from industrial wastewater
• Covers Eco-design study of bio-nanomaterials, bio-nano filters, and assessment for the treatment of emerging pollutants
• Includes IoT- based bionanotechnology
• Explores future research needs on bionanotechnology and scientific challenges in the mitigation of environmental pollutants

This book is aimed at researchers, professionals, and graduate students in nanobiotechnology, environmental engineering, biotechnology.
