Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to comprehend the technical and scientific details about the latest developments and applications of nanotechnology products used for water and wastewater treatment.
Course Content
This lecture presents an overview of recent advances in nanotechnologies for water and wastewater treatment. The major applications of nanomaterials are critically reviewed based on their functions in unit operation processes. The barriers for their full-scale application and the research needs for overcoming these barriers are also discussed. The nanotechnology behind these applications and products used are described in details. The topics include nanotechnology use in water and wastewater treatment, nanotechnology products used in applications such as adsorption, membrane processes, disinfection, monitoring, etc.
