About the Book

The field of environmental science is immensely benefitted like any other field of science with advances in nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is opening up new avenues of research in environmental science by design, development and fabrication of accurate, sensitive, miniature and cost-effective pollution monitoring devices that can prevent, reduce, sense and treat harmful environment contamination in air, water and soil. Nanotechnology can also help in decomposing harmful pollutants into less toxic components and reduce the production of harmful side products and wastes in industrial processes. Few representative examples of nanotechnology in environmental remediation includes use of nanoparticles for remediation of contaminated groundwater and soil; for solar photocatalysis remediation of toxic contaminants in water; magnetic nanoparticles for arsenic removal in water; nanofilters, nanomembranes and nanoadsorbents for decontaminating water and air; reverse osmosis membrane for seawater desalinization; development of more stable and environment friendly fertilizers and wood products towards green manufacturing; nanocatalysts for desulphurizing fuels; nanowires and nanotubes as sensor elements in chemical and biological sensors for detecting pathogens, chemical and biological agents in air, water and food and many more. The present volume looks into development and applications of nanomaterials for clean and green industrial processes to achieve a more sustainable society with less environmental pollution. The present volume comprises a discussion on following topics: o Environmental pollution remediation using nanotechnology o Nanomaterials for environmental remediation o Applications of membrane processes in wastewater treatment o Functionalized nanocontainers and nanomaterials for waste water treatment o Use of nanoparticles from biowastes and microbes in water treatment o Iron-based magnetic nanoparticles for environmental remediation applications o Environmental applications of semiconductor photocatalysis for reducing pollution o Controlling the migration of fertilizer and pesticide through micro/nano networks o Color removal from synthetic wastewater of textile industry by pine waste biomaterial o Engineering Ralstonia eutropha for chemical production o Degradation of phenol, benzene and cyanides in semi-industrial ozonation pilot plant o Source and applications of microbial exopolysaccharide o Future perspectives of biomimetic calcium-phosphate coating o Industrial and commercial nanomedicine o Application of nano-materials in radioactive waste management o Environmental challenges of nanotechnology in subsurface This volume contains 16 articles from 56 researchers and/or academicians representing 14 nations, namely Brazil, China, Egypt, France, Greece, India, Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Thailand, Turkey and United Kingdom giving an overview of the various research activities being carried out in different parts of the world on Industrial Processing and Nanotechnology.

About the Author :
Dr. Bhola Ram Gurjar is a Professor in Civil (Environmental Engineering) and Head of Centre for Transportation Systems (CTRANS) at India's premier technological institution, Indian Institute of Technology - IIT Roorkee. He holds a PhD in the area of Environmental Risk Analysis from India's premier technological institution I.I.T. Delhi followed by Postdoctoral research at the Max Planck Institute in Mainz (Germany). He has about 25 years' progressive professional experience in industry, teaching, training, research, and consultancy. Professor Gurjar has (co)authored / (co)edited nine books and 140 publications in total. He has received several awards and fellowships including the prestigious Advanced Postdoctoral Research Fellowship of the Max Planck Society (Germany) (2002-2005) and UKIERI Grant to visit Univ. of Surrey (U.K.) (Dec. 2012-Jan. 2013). Based on his outstanding research work at the MPIC - Mainz, the Scientific Steering Committee of the global change SysTem for Analysis, Research and Training (START), Washington, D.C., U.S.A., honored him with the 2004 START Young Scientist Award. He has received the American Society of Civil Engineers' State of the Art of Civil Engineering Award for the year 2014 on the co-edited book "Climate Change Modeling, Mitigation, and Adaptation". He is also co-recipient of The Nawab Zain Yar Jung Bahadur Memorial Medal (best research paper award) from Environmental Engineering Division of The Institution of Engineers (India), Kolkata, for the year 1995-96. The Institution of Engineers (India)'s National Design and Research Forum (NDRF) has awarded him the National Design Award for Environmental Engineering 2011. Prof. Gurjar is fellow and life member of several professional bodies and organizations and serves them actively. For example, Prof. Gurjar has served the Roorkee Local Centre of The Institution of Engineers (India) as Honorary Secretary and Chairman from 2010-2012 and 2012-2014, respectively. Recently, recognizing his significant contribution in the discipline of Environmental Engineering, the Environmental Division Board of the Institution of Engineers (India) has conferred on him the Award of Eminent Environmental Engineer during the Inaugural Session of 31st National Convention of Environmental Engineers held on 6th November, 2015 in Chandigarh, India. He has also received The Institution of Engineers (India) Uttarakhand State Centre's Eminent Engineers Award - 2014. The award was conferred by the Hon. Chief Minister of Uttarakhand on 3rd February 2016 in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. Dr. Gurjar is among the leading academics and researchers who have worked extensively in the area of environmental science and engineering specially focused on air and water pollution, and environmental quality and health risk assessment, which is reflected in his several highly cited research papers published on these themes.
