Engineered Biocomposites for Dye Adsorption

Engineered Biocomposites for Dye Adsorption compiles and discusses applications, mechanisms, and performance evaluation of various biocomposites during dyes adsorption. The book analyses the techno-economic and life-cycle assessment of biocomposites for dye adsorption. It highlights different adsorbent materials for dyes degradation and resource recovery ranging from but not limited to activated carbon, biochar, hydrochar, pyrochar, waste fruits, waste industrial sludge, geological materials, graphene, carbon nanotubes, MXene, polymers, metals, nanomaterials, metal-organic frameworks. The book shows how combining materials as bio-composite significantly yield better dyes adsorption than a single material and addresses conventional issues with adsorption such as adsorbent cost, effectiveness, regeneration, and sustainability and provides insights into the preparation and use of new adsorbent materials for dye removal from aqueous solutions. The information contained in this book will increase readers’ fundamental knowledge, guide future researchers, can be incorporated into future works on experimental studies on dye adsorption. As such it serves as an indispensable resource and reference work for engineers, wastewater specialists, biotechnologists, chemists, microbiologists, researchers, and students studying industrial effluents, biomass, bioproducts and adsorption processes. Offers a collection of state-of-the-art dye removal methods using conventional and advanced/new adsorbentsProvides detailed understanding of the methods of preparation and properties of new adsorbents and bio-compositesIncludes applications of bio-composite adsorbents in dye removal; their effectiveness & limitations, and process optimization
