Polymer-Carbonaceous Filler Based Composites for Wastewater Treatment

Polymer-Carbonaceous Filler Based Composites for Wastewater Treatment serves as the first book to offer a concise treatment of the use of these materials in the treatment of wastewater. It provides a systematic and comprehensive account of recent developments and encompasses novel methods for the synthesis of carbonaceous derivatives-based fillers for polymer composites, their characterization techniques, and applications for the remediation of water contamination. This book seeks to:

• Introduce novel concepts in wastewater treatment with poly-carbonaceous composites
• Describe modern fabrication methods and characterization techniques
• Present information on processing, safety, and disposal
• Discuss current research, future trends, and applications

Filling the void for a one-stop reference book for researchers, this work includes contributions from leaders in the industry, academia, government, and private research institutions across the globe. Academics, researchers, scientists, engineers, and students in the fields of materials and polymer engineering and wastewater treatment will benefit from this application-oriented book.
