The increasing environmental crises caused by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and population growth have pushed the planets ecosystems to critical tipping points. Human-caused pollution of the air, water, and soil threatens not only biodiversity but also human health, food security, and economic stability. Traditional environmental remediation methods, such as physical, chemical, and biological techniques, have provided some relief, but they are frequently inefficient, costly, and unsustainable. This new book, Nano-Enabled Environmental Remediation Strategies, explores how nanotechnology’s unique capabilities provide innovative solutions to these persistent environmental challenges. This book provides an in-depth review of how nanomaterials interact with environmental contaminants, delving into the chemical and physical principles that underpin their effectiveness. It includes discussions about adsorption, catalytic degradation, photocatalysis, and advanced oxidation methods, highlighting how each of these mechanisms takes advantage of unique properties of nanomaterials to improve pollutant removal efficiency, with a particular emphasis on their use in water and wastewater treatment, air purification, and soil remediation. The book also emphasizes the significance of sustainability in the design and implementation of nano-enabled strategies. Green synthesis methods for nanomaterials, the use of biocompatible materials, and life-cycle assessment of nanomaterial-based technologies are all discussed to ensure that remediation strategies are both effective and environmentally friendly. In addition to reviewing the most recent advances in the field, also included are several case studies from around the world that demonstrate how nano-enabled remediation strategies have been successfully implemented to address real-world environmental issues, providing valuable insights into the practical aspects of deploying nanomaterials in diverse environmental settings, from contaminated groundwater in industrial areas to polluted urban air. Chapters address the characteristics of nanomaterials for environmental remediation, the impact of nanoparticles on plants, environmental nanosensors and monitoring systems, nanostructured filtration technologies, nanocatalysts for air pollution control, nanotechnology for the degradation of pharmaceutical pollutants, and more. As we deal with the growing effects of climate change, pollution, and resource depletion, novel approaches such as nano-enabled environmental remediation will be critical in protecting our planet for future generations. This book provides a solid understanding of the current state of the field while also encouraging future research and development.

Author Biography

Virat Khanna, PhD, is an Associate Professor at the UCRD, Chandigarh University, Punjab, India. He has more than 14 years of experience in academics and research. He has authored more than 30 national and international publications in SCI-, Scopus-, and Web of Science-indexed journals. He is the editor of several books and conference proceedings with various international publishers, including Springer, Elsevier, CRC Press, IGI Global, and Bentham Science Books. He has delivered several invited seminars and keynote talks on international platforms and has been awarded with best research paper awards. He is also the academic editor of the Journal of Nanotechnology (Wiley) and Advanced Materials Science and Engineering (Wiley) and is also the Book Series Editor of Recent Advances in Materials for Nanotechnology by CRC Press/Taylor & Francis. He is also the guest editor of various special issues with international journal publishers such as Springer, De Gruyter, etc., as well as an editorial board member. Seitkhan Azat, PhD, is an Associate Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Engineering Profile at Satbayev University, Almaty, Kazakhstan. He is a leading researcher in the fields of materials science, chemistry, and nanotechnology. Dr. Azat specializes in nanotechnology and its applications in various industries such as energy, chemistry, biomedicine, and environmental science. He has numerous published works and monographs to his credit. Much of his research is focused on developing new and efficient materials, sorbents, and filters for water purification, as well as synthesizing and applying carbon materials for various purposes, including the removal of toxic gases and the separation and purification of liquids. Che Azurahanim Che Abdullah, also known as Dr. Caca, is an Associate Professor of Nanobiophysics at Faculty of Science, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). With over 80 peer-reviewed articles and over 50 presentations of her work at national and international forums, Dr. Caca’s impressive research portfolio speaks volumes. As evidence of her leadership, she leads the NANOTEDD spin-off company as part of UPM INNOHUB’s innovative initiatives, solidifying her substantial impact and influential presence in her field. Her academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Medical Physics from Universiti Sains Malaysia, and she continued her quest for knowledge by earning a PhD in Soft Condensed Matter Physics from the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom, with a focus on nanobiophysics. Kamaljit Singh, PhD, brings a strong merger of academic knowledge and industry experience to his role as Assistant Professor at Chandigarh Engineering College, CGC, Jhanjeri, Mohali, Punjab, India, India. Dr. Singh’s passion for mechanical engineering extends beyond the classroom, reflected in his research interests in nanomaterials, composites, nonconventional machining methods, and additive manufacturing. His dedication is further evidenced by his publications of scientific papers and book chapters worldwide. His educational background includes a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Maharaja Agrasen University as well as MTech and BTech in Production and Mechanical Engineering from PTU Jalandhar, India (2013 and 2008, respectively).
