Polymeric Adsorbents

Polymeric Adsorbents: Characterization, Properties, Applications, and Modelling offers comprehensive information on the various types of polymeric adsorbents and uses, enabling the reader to understand, identify, and prepare adsorbents with the required structure and properties for a range of key industrial applications. The book begins by presenting the various types of polymeric adsorbents and their characteristics. This is followed by in-depth chapters focusing on physicochemical properties, synthesis methods, functionalization, and composites and hybrid materials. Subsequent chapters highlight key application areas, including gas adsorption, heavy metal removal, hazardous dye removal, and adsorption of antibiotics. Finally, the book provides detailed guidance on modelling of polymeric adsorbent behavior and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. This is a valuable resource to researchers and advanced students across polymer science, chemistry, materials science, engineering, and environmental science, and engineers, scientists, and R&D professionals with an interest in polymeric adsorbents for industrial applications. Covers a full range of polymeric adsorbent types, as well as composites and hybrid adsorbents Explains chemistry, characterization, functionalization, and methods for improving properties Explores a range of applications, supported by detailed coverage of simulation and modelling
