Nanomaterials have a number of features that make them ideally suited for this job: they have a high surface area, high reactivity, easy dispersability, and rapid diffusion, to name a few. The purpose of this book is to showcase how these features can be tailored to address some of the environmental remediation and sensing\/detection problems faced by mankind today. A number of leading researchers have contributed to this volume, painting a picture of diverse synthetic strategies, structures, materials, and methods. The intent of this book is to showcase the current state of environmental nanomaterials in such a way as to be useful both as a research resource and as a graduate level textbook. We have organized this book into sections on nanoparticle-based remediation strategies, nanostructured inorganic materials (e.g. layered materials like the apatites), nanostructured organic\/inorganic hybrid materials, and the use of nanomaterials to enhance the performance of sensors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNanoparticle-Based Approaches: Nanoparticle Metal Oxides for Chlorocarbon and Organophosphonate Remediation (Koper \u0026amp; Klabunde); Nanoscale Zero-Valent Iron for Site Remediation (W-X Zhang et al.); Synthesis, Characterization and Properties of Zero Valent Iron Nanoparticles (D Baer et al.); Nanostructured Inorganic Materials: Formation of Nanosize Apatite Crystals in Sediment for Containment and Stabilization of Contaminants (B Moore et al.); Radioiodine and Tc-99 Getter Materials (S Mattigod); Nanoporous Organic\/Inorganic Hybrid Materials : Nature's Nanoparticles: Group 4 Phosphonates (A Clearfield); Synthesis of Nanostructured Hybrid Sorbent Materials using Organosilane Self-Assembly on Mesoporous Ceramic Oxides (G Fryxell); Chemically-Modified Mesoporous Silicas and Organosilicas for Adsorption and Detection of Heavy Metal Ions (Oksana \u0026amp; M Jaroniec); Hierarchically Imprinted Adsorbents (S Dai et al.); Functionalization of Periodic Mesoporous Silica and Its Application to the Adsorption of Toxic Anions (H Yoshitake); Deployment of Thiol SAMMS on Actual Waste Streams (S Mattigod); Amine Functionalized Nanoporous Materials for Carbon Dioxide Capture (F Zheng et al.); Nanomaterials that Enhance Sensing\/Detection of Environmental Contaminants: Nanostructured ZnO Gas Sensors (Cao et al.); Synthesis and Properties of Mesoporous-Based Materials for Environmental Applications (G-L Shi et al.); Electrochemical Sensors Based on Nanomaterials for Environmental Monitoring (Yantasee \u0026amp; Lin); Nanomaterial-Based Environmental Sensors (Dosev et al.); and other papers.","brand":"Imperial College Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043019587927,"sku":"9781848168039","price":216.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781848168039.jpg?v=1750956692","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/environmental-applications-of-nanomaterials-synthesis-sorbents-and-sensors-2nd-edition-9781848168039","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
