ABOUT THE BOOK
Microplastic contamination has emerged as a significant issue faced globally. Microplastic removal using a cost-effective, sustainable, and efficient technology is highly necessary. Hence, this book provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of adsorption-based strategies for removing microplastics from water and wastewater. It explores various adsorbent materials (chitosan, MOFs, zeolites, activated carbon, CNTs, and hybrid adsorbents), mechanistic insights, integration into treatment systems, and sustainability assessments. It offers valuable guidance for researchers, environmental engineers, and policymakers tackling one of today’s most urgent environmental challenges.
