Composites and Biocomposites for Heavy Metal Adsorption delves into the latest advancements in this crucial area of research. With a focus on integrating materials like composites and bio-composites, the book demonstrates how these combinations can achieve superior heavy metal removal compared to single materials. This efficiency stems from their enhanced ability to eliminate hazardous intermediate metabolites present in heavy metals. Additionally, the book examines the application, mechanisms, and performance evaluation of various composites and bio-composites used in heavy metal removal. It also explores the techno-economic and lifecycle assessments of these materials, making it a valuable resource for scientists, engineers, and students alike.
