Emergent Pollutant Treatment in Wastewater
Summary
This book covers innovations for identifying and treating emerging pollutants — including microplastics — in wastewater, reviewing detection techniques, removal technologies, and current regulations. It provides a comprehensive overview of the state of wastewater treatment for novel contaminants.
This book highlights the innovations and techniques to identify and treat emerging pollutants in waste and polluted water. It begins with the classification of emerging pollutants and is followed by a review on existing detection and elimination techniques as well as the current regulations in place. Subsequent chapters cover membrane-based separation processes, polymer-based or resin-based water filters, functional materials, nanomaterials-based adsorbents, microplastics and a summary of the potential solutions in treating or removing emerging pollutants. Features Presents an overview of current and developing treatment technologies for water polluted with emerging pollutants Gives an in-depth account and analysis of advanced materials and methods for separation and treatment Reviews analytical techniques applied to detect emerging pollutants Discusses the overall effect of policies on current chemicals/plastics/APIs in the market Includes pertinent case studies and regulations This book is aimed at researchers, professionals and graduate students in environmental, civil and chemical engineering and waste and drinking water treatment.

Detection and Treatment of Emerging Contaminants in Wastewater
This book provides a comprehensive overview of how to detect and treat emerging contaminants in wastewater, including microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and antibiotic-resistant genes. It covers how microplastics behave in different treatment plants and accumulate in sewage sludge, highlighting gaps in current cleanup methods. The work is important because wastewater treatment is a key point where microplastics can either be captured or released into the environment and eventually into drinking water.
Microplastics in Water and Wastewater
This book covers the topic of microplastics in water and wastewater, addressing their sources, occurrence, fate, treatment, and regulatory context across the human water cycle. It provides a comprehensive reference for researchers and practitioners working on monitoring and reducing microplastic contamination in drinking water and wastewater systems.
Emerging Contaminants in Water: Detection, Treatment, and Regulation
This review covers emerging contaminants in water — including microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals — discussing detection methods, treatment technologies, and regulatory frameworks. The authors highlight major gaps in current water quality standards and the need for updated regulations to address these newer pollutants.
Water Pollutants: Adsorptions and Solutions
This book describes technologies for removing pollutants—including microplastics—from water and wastewater using adsorption methods. Adsorption-based treatment is a promising approach for capturing plastic particles and chemical contaminants before they reach drinking water supplies or natural water bodies.
Innovative technologies for removal of micro plastic: A review of recent advances
Researchers reviewed emerging technologies for removing microplastics from wastewater, covering filtration, coagulation, biological treatment, and other methods used at treatment plants. The review highlights which approaches show the most promise and calls for broader adoption and improved standardization so that microplastics are more consistently captured before they reach rivers, lakes, and oceans.
