Aquananotechnology
"Aquananotechnology: Global Prospects provides a comprehensive roadmap
for emerging technologies for the water industry. From access to water to repair
of the water infrastructure, this is an encyclopedia of how to solve our worldwide
water problems. It is a must read for water technologists."
—Vincent Caprio, Founder & Executive Director, Water Innovations Alliance A
Foundation, Shelton, CT, USA
q
"Governments, as well as businesses in sectors as diverse as agriculture, power G L O B A L P R O S P E C T S
generation, and manufacturing, know that water is central to their economic u
activities. Aquananotechnology: Global Prospects highlights water technologies G
a
that continue to push the boundaries of material science and innovation to reach L
new breakthroughs of cost and performance—vital for sustainable economic n
O
growth and profitability."

"With water quality and scarcity destined to be enduring global megatrends for o
the next century, Aquananotechnology depicts an impressive array of break-
through approaches to water treatment. The topics span from innovations in Pt
ridding drinking water of trace contaminants, to cutting-edge technologies to R
e
solve the newest water challenges, such as those posed by fracking and the
O
treatment of ballast water on cargo ships." c

"The world needs diverse solutions to our pressing water scarcity and quality
challenges. This book showcases a refreshing variety of forward-thinking Co
approaches through a distinctly global perspective. I recommend this as a
T
must read for experienced practitioners and newcomers alike." l

Cover photo: Mantis shrimp rapidly unfold and swing raptorial claws at prey, with an g
acceleration of 10,400 g and speeds of 23 m/sec, capable of inflicting serious damage by
generating cavitation bubbles between appendage and striking surface. The collapse of y
cavitation bubbles in the nanoscale regime causes deadly shock wave and sonolumines-
cence and is the basis for SPCC process (Diego et al., Chapter 6).
