Preface
Due to their huge surface area and numerous other distinguishing characteristics, nanostructure materials are widely used in a variety of applications. The production of substrates for better environmental protection and cleanup has been prompted by these qualities. They offer a superior surface for the adsorption of impurities and pollutants that contaminate industrial influents, wastewater, air, and soil as contaminants. Those examples all include a variety of harmful environmental substances, such as toxic metals, phenolic compounds, dyes, and other substances that must be treated appropriately before being released into the environment. There have been numerous earlier initiatives for environmental protection and restoration. However, composites made of highly efficient and relatively noble carbon allotropes are attracting significant attention. The use of carbon allotropes offers many benefits, including low cost, low toxicity, simple manufacture, and high efficiency. They are also ideal replacements for previously established materials. This book discusses the most recent developments and trends in the use of carbon allotropes and their composites for environmental restoration and protection. The synthesis, characterization, and application of carbon allotropes and their composites in environmental preservation and cleanup are also covered in the book.
There are fourteen chapters in the book. Chapters 1 and 2 cover the creation and characterization of carbon allotropes, ...
