Nanomaterials for Soil Remediation provides a comprehensive description on basic knowledge and current research progress in the field of soil treatment using nanomaterials. Soil pollution refers to the presence of toxic chemicals in soil. Compared with air and water remediations, soil remediation is technically more challenging due to its complex composition. The synergy between engineering and nanotechnology has resulted in rapid developments in soil remediation. Nanomaterials could offer new routes to address challenging and pressing issues facing soil pollution.

This book aims to explore how nanomaterials are used to cleanse polluted soils (organic compounds and heavy metal-contaminated soils) through various nanomaterials-based techniques (chemical/physical/biological techniques and their integrations).

Part 1: Environmental impact of nanomaterials in soil remediation 1. Nanomaterials in soil remediation: An introduction 2. Interactions of nanomaterials with the soil 3. Detection and evaluation of nanoparticles in soil environment 4. Impact of nanoparticles on soil resource 5. Toxicity/risk assessment of nanomaterials when used in soil treatment 6. Interaction of nanoparticles with soil 7. Life cycle assessment of soil remediation using nanomaterials 8. Influence of nanoparticles on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils 9. Effect of nanoparticles on crop growth

Part 2: Organic compounds contaminated soils 10. Nanosensors for detection and evaluation of organic compounds in soil 11. Nanosensors for herbicides monitoring in soil 12. Soil contamination, risk assessment and nanobioremediation 13. SERS nanosensors for organic compounds contaminated soils 14. Nanomaterials in the biological treatment of contaminated soil 15. Nanomaterials for decontamination of organophosphorus compounds in soil

Part 3: Metal-contaminated soils 16. Nanomaterials in the bioremediation of metal-contaminated soils 17. Nanomaterials-based absorbents 18. Nanomaterials-based solidification/stabilization of metal-contaminated soils 19. Remediation of metal ions contaminated soil by nanomaterials 20. Nanobubble technology for remediation of metal-contaminated soil

Part 4: Integrated methods for soil remediation 21. Nanomaterials in integrated methods for soil remediation (biological/physiological combination processes) 22. Nanotechnology enhanced phytoremediation and photocatalytic degradation techniques for remediation of soil pollutants 23. Nanobiochar: A sustainable solution for agricultural and environmental applications 24. Current perspectives of soil nanoremediation
