Advanced Materials for Sustainable Environmental Remediation: Terrestrial and Aquatic Environments presents detailed, comprehensive coverage of novel and advanced materials that can be applied to address the growing global concern of the pollution of natural resources in waters, the air and soil. It provides fundamental knowledge on available materials and treatment processes, as well as applications, including adsorptive remediation and catalytic remediation. Organized clearly by type of material, this book presents a consistent structure for each chapter, including characteristics of the materials, basic and important physicochemical features for environmental remediation applications, routes of synthesis, recent advances as remediation medias, and future perspectives.

This book offers an interdisciplinary and practical examination of available materials and processes for environmental remediation that will be valuable to environmental scientists, materials scientists, environmental chemists, and environmental engineers alike.

"Dr. Dimitrios Giannakoudakis graduated as chemist from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) in Greece, where he obtained also two M.Sc. degrees (in Physical-chemistry & Electrochemistry and in New Educational Technologies). He received his PhD degree on “Nanotechnology and Materials Chemistry” from the City University of New York (CUNY) with full scholarship, in 02/2017. Then, he continued as postdoctoral-fellow and adjunct tutor at the City College of New York, AUTh, and the Institute of Physical Chemistry (IChF) of Polish Academy of Sciences. Afterwards, he served at IChF as adj. Assistant Professor and tutor of “Modern nano-Topics in Physical Chemistry”. Currently, he is Research Associate and tutor at AUTh. He has co-authored more than 105 publications in leading peer-reviewed journals (avg. Impact Factor as 1st author above 11), with the articles to be cited more than 3000 times, one monograph by Springer, three edited books by Elsevier, more than 20 book chapters, and 3 invention patents. For more details: www.DaGchem.com Lucas Meili is Professor in the Center of Technology at the Federal University of Alagoas, Maceió, Brazil. His areas of interest are focused in separation processes, water and wastewater treatment, and synthesis of materials, with a particular interest in adsorption and advanced oxidation processes. Prof. Dr. Ioannis Anastopoulos is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Agriculture, University of Ioannina, Arta, Greece. His research is focused on the following areas at the estimation of greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural soils after receiving organic and inorganic materials, the fabrication of different adsorbents for wastewater treatment, and the use of organic amendments for soil remediation. He is an author of publications in peer-reviewed journals (> 70 articles) with more than 3000 citations. His name is also included in the 2% top world scientists for the year 2019 (Baas, Jeroen; Boyack, Kevin; Ioannidis, John P.A. (2020), “Data for ""Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators"", Mendeley Data, V2, DOI: 10.17632/btchxktzyw.2#file-dd0904a8-0eba-4cf3-be4a-c6092261fed5)"
