Sustainable Water Purification Technologies for Multiple Applications - Hardcover

by Marco Pellegrini (Guest Editor), Cesare Saccani (Guest Editor), Alessandro Guzzini (Guest Editor)

The Reprint "Sustainable Water Treatment Technologies for Multiple Applications" brings attention to the fact that water is vital to human well-being, poverty reduction and sustainable development, yet water scarcity worldwide is worsened by climate change and human activities. It highlights the close link between water, energy, and food security, and introduces a full range of modern, sustainable water treatment technologies for freshwater, saltwater, and wastewater. These diversified techniques, including adsorption materials, membrane separation, and phytoremediation, are tailored for different scenarios, such as drinking water supply, agricultural irrigation, industrial production, and water electrolysis. The Reprint systematically summarizes globally applicable technologies, aiming to tackle water-related environmental and public health issues, and enhance food and energy security across the water-energy-food nexus.
