Remediation of Heavy Metals - Sustainable Technologies and Recent Advances

Remediation of Heavy Metals
 
Meet the challenge of contaminated water with a range of sustainable tools
 
The treatment of water which has been polluted by heavy metals is an increasingly significant environmental challenge in an industrialized global economy. The ongoing revolution in green technologies, however, has seen a range of sustainable methods emerge for treating water, soils, and other parts of the environment polluted by trace metals. By putting these methods into practice, environmental researchers and industrial professionals can improve water quality, and public health globally.
 
Remediation of Heavy Metals offers a clear, accessible reference on these methods and their applications. It offers an overview of the major effects of heavy metal contamination and works through each of the methods or protocols available to remediate soil and minimize pollution at the source.
 
Remediation of Heavy Metals readers will also find:
* Comparison of different approaches for heavy metal removal
* Detailed discussion of physical, chemical, and biological remediation methods
* Case studies demonstrating proper remediation
 
Remediation of Heavy Metals provides key knowledge for environmental scientists, environmental toxicologists, and other researchers or industrial professionals working in heavy metal removal, as well as advanced graduate students in these areas.
