Disposal and Recycling Strategies for Nano-engineered Materials enables the reader to understand and implement the latest methods for the safe disposal and re-use of nanomaterials found in the environment at end-of-life. Sections introduce nanomaterials, their general classification, properties, and preparation techniques before providing an overview and analysis of common disposal strategies. This is followed by in-depth chapters that focus on important steps and innovative strategies in dealing with waste nanomaterials, including sampling, classification and identification of waste materials, green technologies and biodegradation strategies, physico-chemical disposal, integrated technologies to prevent or control nanomaterial wastes entering the environment, and more.

This is a valuable resource for researchers, advanced students, engineers, and scientists, with an interest in nanomaterials, their life cycle, waste, and recycling, water treatment, chemical engineering, environmental science, materials science, chemistry, and sustainability.
