This book explores the transformative role of polymers in environmental remediation, with a specific focus on wastewater treatment. It provides a comprehensive overview of how polymeric materials are innovatively applied to address water pollution, one of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. By integrating advanced scientific research and practical applications, this book serves as an essential resource for both academic researchers and industry professionals working toward sustainable solutions. Wastewater treatment is critical for environmental sustainability and public health. Traditional methods, though effective to an extent, often fall short in treating emerging contaminants or are energy-intensive and costly. Polymers, with their versatile properties, offer a promising alternative or complement to conventional techniques. This book fills a gap in the literature by presenting the most recent advancements in polymer science specifically targeted at wastewater treatment. It discussed both established and emerging polymeric materials, examining their roles in flocculation, adsorption, membrane filtration, and catalysis, among others. It will also address the environmental impact of polymers themselves, focusing on the development of eco-friendly and biodegradable materials.
