1st Edition 

by Ajay Kumar Mishra (Editor), Chaudhery Mustansar Hussain (Editor), Shivani Bhardwaj Mishra (Editor) 

The 12 chapters comprehensively cover the development and advances on emerging carbon-based nanocomposites for wastewater applications and discuss the following topics:

• The emerging carbon-based nanocomposites for remediation of heavy metals and organic pollutants from wastewater;
• Functional green carbon nanocomposites for heavy-metal treatment in water;
• Green nanocomposites and their applications in environmentally-friendly carbon nanomaterials;
• Carbon-based nanocomposites as heterogeneous catalysts for organic reactions in environment-friendly solvents;
• Carbonaceous nanomaterials for arsenic and chromium removal from waste water;
• Biochar-based adsorbents for the removal of organic pollutants from aqueous systems;
• Describes carbon nanomaterials based green nanocomposites;
• The removal of trihalomethanes from water using nanofiltration membranes and
• The transformation of wide bandgap semiconductors for visible-light photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes;
• Nanocomposite materials as electrode materials in microbial fuel cells for the removal of water pollutants;
• Plasmonic smart nanosensors for the determination of environmental pollutants.
