Photocatalytic Degradation of Antibiotics in Contaminated Water (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789999327497)

Water pollution caused by pharmaceutical residues, especially antibiotics, is an escalating global concern. These persistent contaminants not only disrupt aquatic ecosystems but also contribute to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, posing severe threats to environmental and human health. Addressing this urgent issue requires advanced, sustainable, and cost-effective technologies for water treatment. This book explores a cutting-edge approach rooted in photocatalysis combined with magnetic nanotechnology to degrade antibiotics in contaminated water systems. It offers a detailed analysis of the development and application of magnetic nanomaterials that act as efficient, light-driven catalysts capable of breaking down hazardous organic compounds. The focus is on designing recyclable, magnetically separable nanocatalysts that not only enhance photocatalytic efficiency but also simplify post-treatment recovery processes, making them suitable for large-scale and sustainable applications. The content blends fundamental concepts with practical implementation strategies. Topics covered include the synthesis and surface engineering of magnetic nanocomposites, photocatalytic mechanisms, environmental factors influencing degradation efficiency, and case studies demonstrating real-world applicability. Special attention is given to the green synthesis of nanomaterials and their alignment with sustainable development goals. By integrating advanced materials science with environmental remediation strategies, this book provides a valuable resource for researchers, environmental scientists, engineers, and graduate students. It contributes to the growing field of eco-friendly water treatment technologies and offers a visionary perspective on how magnetic nanotechnology can drive sustainable solutions for one of the most critical environmental challenges of our time.
