Two-Dimensional (2D) Nanomaterials in Separation Science

This book covers newly emerging two-dimensional nanomaterials which have been recently used for the purpose of water purification. It focuses on the synthesis methods of 2D materials and answers how scientists/engineers/nanotechnologist/environmentalists could use these materials for fabricating new separation membranes and most probably making commercially feasible technology. The chapters are written by a collection of international experts ensuring a broad view of each topic. The book will be of interest to experienced researchers as well as young scientists looking for an introduction into 2D materials-based cross-disciplinary research.

Provides a comprehensive overview of the use of 2D nanomaterials for water purification Contributions from international experts in the field of 2D materials Essential information is presented in a comprehensive and concise way
