The global environment has significantly changed due to a number of factors such as industrial pollution, expansion of agricultural land way beyond the fringe forest zones, destruction of virgin forests, loss of quality agricultural lands due to soil erosion, loss of global wildlife and biodiversity, climate change, global warming, devastating forest fires, floods, draughts, melting of glaciers to mention a few. Human or anthropogenic impacts are in turn devastating the planet with our attention being shifted only to the shinning aspect of our civilizations. The most alarming fact about this hidden factor is that they are all directly or indirectly impacted by human activities in some way or other. The present work, Environment at Crossroads deals with various environmental problems like climate change, global warming, food security, bioremediation of waste, oil spills, and problems of heavy metal toxicity, control strategies like use of gene therapy, conservation of mangroves, revival of river Vishwamitri and role of plant and animals in biodiversity conservation is discussed.

The deterioration of water quality and unavailability of drinkable water are pressing challenges worldwide. The removal of toxic organic and inorganic pollutants from water is vital for a clean environment, as a response to water scarcity. Adsorption-based water technologies are among the most widely used because of their high efficiency and low cost, without relying on a complex infrastructure. In recent years, carbon nanomaterials (CNMs), such as graphene and derivatives, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, nanoporous carbon, fullerenes, graphitic carbon nitride, and nanodiamonds have been extensively exploited as adsorbents due to their extraordinary surface properties, ease of modification, large surface area, controlled structural varieties, high chemical stability, porosity, low density, ease of regeneration, and reusability. This book provides a thorough overview of the state of the art in carbon nanomaterials as they are used for adsorption applications in water purifications, as well as addressing their toxicological challenges. This volume primarily explores the fundamentals of adsorption, its mechanical aspects, synthesis and properties of CNMs, and adsorption performances of CNMs and their nanocomposites with organic and inorganic materials. Structural engineering and activation processes produce materials with enhanced adsorptive properties and separation efficiencies. Furthermore, the formation of CNMs with 2D and 3D macro-and microstructures and high porosities is a potential approach to improve adsorption performances and extend CNM use at the industrial level. The book also addresses important issues regarding these adsorbents that potentially affect future research and industrial applications of carbon-based nanoadsorbents in water security. Presents advances in multifunctional 3D superstructures of carbon nanomaterials and their composites for adsorption applications Outlines the fundamentals on synthesis and characterization techniques of carbon-based nanostructures and their composites Assesses the major toxicological challenges in using nanostructured materials as adsorbents for water purification

Abstract: In this work, the carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) were chemically modified with 3-aminopyrazole to synthesize MWCNTs-f. Then the three nanoadsorbents, i.e., MWCNTs, MWCNTs-COOH, and MWCNTs-f, have been separately used to the adsorption of Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The adsorbents were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), field emission scanning electron Microscope (FE-SEM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and Bruner-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area measurement. The effects of pH, adsorbent dose, initial ion concentration, and temperature on adsorption efficiency were investigated by central composite design a subset of response surface methodology for experimental design to reducing the number of experiments runs having the interaction effects between the parameters. The optimum adsorption conditions for all adsorbents were 20 mg of the adsorbents, pH = 8–9, and 50 mg L −1 of Cd(II) ions at 45 °C. At the optimum conditions, Cd(II) ions removal efficiencies were 83.7, 65.9 and 35.7% for MWCNTs-f, MWCNTs-COOH, and MWCNTs, respectively. The quadratic model was applied for analysis of variance and indicated that pH and temperature were the most effective parameters in the adsorption process. The pseudo-second-order model was achieved from the adsorption kinetic studies. Also, various adsorption isotherm models at different temperatures were examined. The results show that the Langmuir isotherm is fitted suitably for the three adsorbents in this work and the best-selected isotherm models for the adsorption of Cd(II) ions by MWCNTs, MWCNTs-COOH, and MWCNTs-f were Langmuir, Dubinin–Radushkevich and Temkin models, respectively. Moreover, desorption study revealed the favorable regeneration ability of adsorbents powders, even after 3 adsorption-desorption cycles.

Among various water and wastewater treatment technologies, the adsorption process is considered better because of lower cost, simple design and easy operation. Activated carbon (a universal adsorbent) is generally used for the removal of diverse types of pollutants from water and wastewater. Research is now being directed towards the modification of carbon surfaces to enhance its adsorption potential towards specific pollutants. However, widespread use of commercial activated carbon is sometimes restricted especially in developing or poor countries due to its higher costs. Attempts are therefore being made to develop inexpensive adsorbents utilizing abundant natural materials, agricultural and industrial waste materials. Use of waste materials as low-cost adsorbents is attractive due to their contribution in the reduction of costs for waste disposal, therefore contributing to environmental protection. This e-book explores knowledge on recent developments in adsorbents synthesis and their use in water pollution control. This handy reference work is intended for researchers and scientists actively engaged in the study of adsorption and the development and application of efficient adsorption technology for water treatment. This e-book covers a wide range of topics including modeling aspects of adsorption process and the applications of conventional and non-conventional adsorbents in water remediation emphasizing sorption mechanisms of different pollutants on the adsorbents.
