In this book, authors have discussed their experiences and how they changed our thoughts in understanding the fundamentals of adsorption-based rapid refrigeration and water purification systems. You will find experimental and theoretical knowledge that we hope will help you to overcome the research problems. Adsorbents have
secured a special place in rapid refrigeration and pose huge advantages for ultra-grade water purification. Besides bulk adsorbents, various nanoadsorbent materials are of interest due to their nano-confinement effects, resulting in superior surface area, high reactivity, and other leapfrogging properties to build complex nanostructures. This
book contains nine chapters in which Chap. 1 introduces the essential background of the book and covers a nutshell of all the chapters. Chapter 2 shows the synthesis technique to prepare silica gel-based high-quality consolidated adsorbents. Chapter 3 highlights new functional adsorbents and investigates their interactions with water
under the adsorption desalination cycle’s operating parameters. Chapter 4 represents the significance of specific heat capacity, detailed experimental procedure, and the parent materials at the operating temperature range of adsorption heat pump and adsorption desalination cycles. Chapter 5 focuses on atomic force microscopy, a
recent characterization technique that uses nanoprobes to extract three-dimensional images of surfaces. The authors discuss two new adsorption methods in Chap. 6 to increase water harvesting from the atmosphere and heat and moisture recovery in ventilation systems. Chapter 7 presents thermochemical methods for powderactivated carbon preparation from abundant and cheap biomasses. Some crucial nanocarbon-based adsorbent materials for water purification are well corroborated in Chap. 8. Chapter 9 explores the potential applications of various nanoparticlesbased adsorbents with special reference to nano zero-valent iron, iron oxide, titanium,
alumina, and silica in the field of adsorptive removal of inorganic and organic pollutants from water. These nano adsorbents show good adsorption capacity, reaction rate, and competence for diverse pollutants removal.
Most of these book chapters are contributed by a collection of authors from different research groups worldwide including the USA, Japan, Bangladesh, Singapore, Republic of Korea, Russia, Malaysia, Australia, and India; mainly focused on the uses of nanomaterial for adsorptive refrigeration and water treatment applications. It ensures a broad view of each topic, rather than reflecting the work of specific research groups. We are thankful to the authors who produced these preceding excellent chapters that will greatly benefit the potential readers interested in different
adsorbents for rapid cooling/refrigeration and water purification applications.
