Engineered Biocomposites for Dye Adsorption

Engineered Biocomposites for Dye Adsorption compiles and discusses applications, mechanisms, and performance evaluation of various biocomposites during dye adsorption. The book analyzes the techno-economic and life-cycle assessment of biocomposites for dye adsorption. It highlights different adsorbent materials for dye 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, and metal-organic frameworks. The book shows how combining materials such as biocomposites significantly yields better dye 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, and 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.
