Holistic perspective on environmental nanotechnology and its impact on water quality, focusing pollution control, water quality, and hydrologic pathways Nanotechnology in Water Research delves into the intersection of nanotechnology and environmental science, exploring the transformative potential of nanotechnology in addressing environmental challenges. The book discusses the characterization, stability, transport, and fate of nanomaterials in water systems, particularly in hydrologic pathways, the applications of nanotechnology in water pollution control, and significant scientific problems and advancements in nanotechnology’s role in water research. This title includes information on: Nanotechnology and nanoparticle concepts, with many examples related to water quality technologiesImproving water treatment methods while ensuring environmental sustainabilitySensor, remediation, adsorption, and membrane processes that detect, monitor, remove, reduce, or neutralize water contaminants Analytical technologies, stability theory, filtration theory, and fate and transport of nanoparticles in water to help reduce risks to humans and aquatic systems Equally valuable as a reference, handbook, textbook, and general learning resource, this essential guide is an excellent read on the subject for students, educators, researchers, professionals, and stakeholders in environmental engineering, nanotechnology, and environmental science.

This book introduces the state-of-the-art research progress of system-level EMC, including theories, design technologies, principles and applications in practice. The engineering design, simulation, prediction, analysis, test, stage control as well as effectiveness evaluation are discussed in detail with extensive project experiences, making the book an essential reference for researchers and industrial engineers.

Transient Electromagnetic-Thermal Nondestructive Testing: Pulsed Eddy Current and Transient Eddy Current Thermography covers three key areas of theories, methods and applications, primarily the multi-physics field, including eddy current, heat conduction and Infrared radiation for defect evaluation, lateral heat conduction, which is analyzed to detect parallel cracks, and longitudinal heat conduction, which is analyzed to detect depth defect, or that which is beyond skin depth. In addition, the book explores methods, such as time domain, frequency domain and logarithm domain, also comparing A-scan , B-scan and C-scan. Sections on defect identification, classification and quantification are covered, as are advanced algorithms, principal components analysis (PCA), independent components analysis (ICA) and support vector machine (SVM). The book uses a lot of experimental studies on multi-layer aluminum structures, honeycomb structure, CFRP in the aerospace field, and steel and coating in the marine rail and transportation fields.

This topical brief summarizes the various options available for carbon capture and presents the current strategies involved in CO2 reduction. The authors focus on current CO2 capture technologies that facilitate the reduction of greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions and reduce global warming. This short study will interest environmental researchers, teachers and students who have an interest in global warming.
