About this ebook

Piezocatalysis as a Sustainable Solution for Microbial Eradication and Wastewater Treatment comprehensively elucidates insights into the principles and applications of piezocatalysis. The book explains in detail the mechanism of the process and explores various approaches and the latest breakthroughs in material synthesis and designing for piezocatalysis. It explains how piezocatalysis offers a unique advantage by simultaneously degrading pollutants and controlling microbial populations, and that this dual action streamlines the wastewater treatment process and enhances overall efficiency. Along with providing practical insights into how piezocatalysis is being employed to tackle wastewater issues, this book focuses on the recent developments, outlining their challenges and future opportunities. Piezocatalysis as a Sustainable Solution for Microbial Eradication and Wastewater Treatment helps researchers in academia and industry to learn about the implementation of piezocatalysis for wastewater remediation. The book provides versatile solutions that are capable of degrading a wide range of pollutants, including recalcitrant organic compounds and microbial contaminants and as such enabling the degradation of various water pollutants and removal of pathogenic microbes.• Highlights limitations and challenges faced by existing techniques for the degradation of pollutants and microbial load in wastewater• Discusses the latest innovations and modifications in tailoring piezocatalytic materials for greater efficiency• Provides detailed insights into how to apply piezocatalysis for simultaneous pollutant degradation and microbial control• Includes practical applications showcasing the industrial feasibility of piezocatalysis
