- Book Synopsis
- This book discusses designing and implanting the forward osmosis (FO) process in various types of treatment and applications. It summarizes the start-up effort in installing new materials, methods, or technological efforts in improving the FO process in removing conventional and emerging pollutants from wastewater sources. It includes case studies submitted to policymakers in connection with remedies and solutions emerging as treatment or separation techniques involving the FO process. It reviews advances in the field of standalone and hybrid FO processes in wastewater treatment in varied industries.Features: Evaluates forward osmosis (FO)-based treatment techniques currently available for wastewater pollutant treatment. Gives an in-depth account and analysis of advanced materials and methods, particularly membrane and draw solutes and methods for FO process for the separation and treatment of wastewater. Covers advanced materials in the field of emerging pollutants and emerging materials and methods available to treat the same. Attempts to forecast the future of the FO process in large and industrial-scale wastewater treatment applications. Reviews advancements in desalination and associated wastewater treatment using standalone and hybrid FO processes. This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in wastewater, environmental, and civil engineering.
- About The Author
- S.K. Nataraj works as Associate Director and Professor at the Centre for Nano and Material Sciences (CNMS), Jain University, Bangalore, India. He obtained his PhD on "Membrane Based Separation Processes for Industrial Effluent Treatment" in 2008 from the Centre of Excellence in Polymer Science (CEPS), Karnatak University, Dharwad, India. After completion of his PhD, he moved to Alan G MacDiarmid Energy Research Institute (AMERI), Chonnam National University, South Korea, as a Postdoctoral Associate (2007-2009) to work on Energy Materials. Between 2010 and 201, he worked as Postdoctoral Associate at the Institute of Atomic Molecular Sciences (IAMS), Academia Sinica, Taiwan, to develop ion-exchange membranes for Fuel Cell applications. Further, he was awarded Qatar University visiting fellowship at Cambridge University (2010-2011) and continued as a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate (2011-2013) at Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, UK. Later, he moved to India to work as DST-INSPIRE Faculty Fellow (2013-2015) at CSIR-CSMCRI, Bhavnagar, where his main areas of research were to develop Sustainable Materials and Processes for Energy and Environmental applications, including supercapacitors, fuel cells, membrane processes for wastewater treatment, functional nanomaterial-based devices for wastewater treatment, and the value addition of bioresources. Dr. Nataraj serves as Member of Editorial Board of prestigious journals that include Chemical Engineering Journal, AQUA - Water Infrastructure, Ecosystems and Society, and Journal of Protective Coatings & Linings (JPCL).He teaches courses in Separation and Purification Technologies, Battery-Fuel Cells and Solid-State Materials at the postgraduate level. The following is a quick summary of credentials: he has now published more than 200 research articles, 14 US/PCT patents, more than 45 book chapters, 5 authored books and 1 edited book to his credit. He has over 8,300 citations and delivered more than 60 invited talks. His socially relevant works have been highlighted in several magazines and news articles like Nature Asia and Outlook.Professor S.K. Nataraj has also appeared as a top 2% researcher in the list for the last six years issued by Stanford University.
