At the nano size materials often take on unique and sometimes unexpected properties which results in materials being ‘tuned’ to build faster, lighter, stronger and more efficient devices and systems, as well as new classes of materials. In the water research, nanotechnology is applied to develop more cost-effective and high-performance water treatment systems as well as instant and continuous ways to monitor water quality as well.
Nanotechnology in water applications potentially impacts on treatment, remediation, sensing, and pollution prevention. Nanotechnology for water treatment and remediation has the potential to maintain the long-term water quality, availability and viability of water resource. Thus, water via nanotechnology can be reused, recycled, desalinized and also it can detect the biological and chemical contamination at even very low concentration no matter if it is coming from municipal, industrial or man-made waste.
Water Research Nanotechnology Applications describes a broad area of nanotechnology and water research where membrane processes (nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and nanoreactive membranes) are considered key components of advanced water purification and desalination technologies to remove, reduce or neutralize water contaminants that threaten human health and/or ecosystem productivity and integrity. Various nanoparticles and nanomaterials that could be used in water remediation (zeolites, carbon nanotubes, self-assembled monolayer on mesoporous supports, biopolymers, single-enzyme nanoparticles, zero-valent iron nanoparticles, bimetallic iron nanoparticles, and nanoscale semiconductor photocatalysts) are also discussed. Water-borne infectious diseases as well as water-borne pathogens, microbes and toxicity approach receive attention.

Enables readers to apply core principles of environmental engineering to analyze environmental systems
Environmental Process Analysis takes a unique approach, applying mathematical and numerical process modeling within the context of both natural and engineered environmental systems. Readers master core principles of natural and engineering science such as chemical equilibria, reaction kinetics, ideal and non-ideal reactor theory, and mass accounting by performing practical real-world analyses. As they progress through the text, readers will have the opportunity to analyze a broad range of environmental processes and systems, including water and wastewater treatment, surface mining, agriculture, landfills, subsurface saturated and unsaturated porous media, aqueous and marine sediments, surface waters, and atmospheric moisture.
The text begins with an examination of water, core definitions, and a review of important chemical principles. It then progressively builds upon this base with applications of Henry's law, acid/base equilibria, and reactions in ideal reactors. Finally, the text addresses reactions in non-ideal reactors and advanced applications of acid/base equilibria, complexation and solubility/dissolution equilibria, and oxidation/reduction equilibria.
Several tools are provided to fully engage readers in mastering new concepts and then applying them in practice, including:
Detailed examples that demonstrate the application of concepts and principles
Problems at the end of each chapter challenging readers to apply their newfound knowledge to analyze environmental processes and systems
MathCAD worksheets that provide a powerful platform for constructing process models
Environmental Process Analysis serves as a bridge between introductory environmental engineering textbooks and hands-on environmental engineering practice. By learning how to mathematically and numerically model environmental processes and systems, readers will also come to better understand the underlying connections among the various models, concepts, and systems.

Energy Geostructures: Innovation in Underground Engineering
Author: Lyesse Laloui and Alice Di Donna | Size: 13.5 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Wiley-ISTE | Year: 2013 | pages: 320 | ISBN: 9781848215726, 9781118761809, 184821572X
Energy geostructures are a tremendous innovation in the field of foundation engineering and are spreading rapidly throughout the world. They allow the procurement of a renewable and clean source of energy which can be used for heating and cooling buildings.
This technology couples the structural role of geostructures with the energy supply, using the principle of shallow geothermal energy. This book provides a sound basis in the challenging area of energy geostructures.
The objective of this book is to supply the reader with an exhaustive overview on the most up-to-date and available knowledge of these structures. It details the procedures that are currently being applied in the regions where geostructures are being implemented. The book is divided into three parts, each of which is divided into chapters, and is written by the brightest engineers and researchers in the field. After an introduction to the technology as well as to the main effects induced by temperature variation on the geostructures, Part 1 is devoted to the physical modeling of energy geostructures, including in situ investigations, centrifuge testing and small-scale experiments. The second part includes numerical simulation results of energy piles, tunnels and bridge foundations, while also considering the implementation of such structures in different climatic areas. The final part concerns practical engineering aspects, from the delivery of energy geostructures through the development of design tools for their geotechnical dimensioning. The book concludes with a real case study.

A single reference to all aspects of contemporary air dispersion modeling
The practice of air dispersion modeling has changed dramatically in recent years, in large part due to new EPA regulations. Current with the EPA's 40 CFR Part 51, this book serves as a complete reference to both the science and contemporary practice of air dispersion modeling. Throughout the book, author Alex De Visscher guides readers through complex calculations, equation by equation, helping them understand precisely how air dispersion models work, including such popular models as the EPA's AERMOD and CALPUFF.
Air Dispersion Modeling begins with a primer that enables readers to quickly grasp basic principles by developing their own air dispersion model. Next, the book offers everything readers need to work with air dispersion models and accurately interpret their results, including:
Full chapter dedicated to the meteorological basis of air dispersion
Examples throughout the book illustrating how theory translates into practice
Extensive discussions of Gaussian, Lagrangian, and Eulerian air dispersion modeling
Detailed descriptions of the AERMOD and CALPUFF model formulations
This book also includes access to a website with Microsoft® Excel and MATLAB® files that contain examples of air dispersion model calculations. Readers can work with these examples to perform their own calculations.
With its comprehensive and up-to-date coverage, Air Dispersion Modeling is recommended for environmental engineers and meteorologists who need to perform and evaluate environmental impact assessments. The book's many examples and step-by-step instructions also make it ideal as a textbook for students in the fields of environmental engineering, meteorology, chemical engineering, and environmental sciences.
