Advances in Bio-Nano Filtration: A Promising Solution to Water Pollution

By Maulin P. Shah

The increasing amount of pollutants being discharged into the environment has led to a pressing need for new treatment technologies or the modification of existing ones. In this context, innovation in bio-nano filtration systems appears to be a promising solution, making a book on the current advances and innovations in this field highly relevant.

What is Bio-Nano Filtration?

Bio-nano filtration is a relatively new and emerging technology applied to the treatment of wastewater and other toxic compounds. Over the past two decades, this technology has begun to emerge as an economically viable process to treat a wide variety of recalcitrant pollutants discharged into the environment. It is estimated that the US biofiltration market will reach over $100 million by 2020.

How Can Bio-Nano Filtration Help in Overcoming Water Pollution?

This book aims to present how innovation in bio-nano filtration can provide effective solutions to overcome the serious problem of water pollution worldwide. The removal of contaminants will be the result of the combined effects of biological oxidation, adsorption, and filtration processes.
