Biomass-Derived Materials for Environmental Applications presents state-of-the-art coverage of bio-based materials that can be applied to address the growing global concern of pollutant discharge in the environment. The book examines the production, characterization and application of bio-based materials for remediation. Organized clearly by type of material, the book includes details on lignocellulosic materials, natural clays, carbonaceous materials, composites and advanced materials from natural origins. Readers will find an interdisciplinary and practical examination of these materials and their use in environmental remediation that will be valuable to environmental scientists, materials scientists, environmental chemists, and environmental engineers alike.

Ioannis Anastopoulos Assistant Professor, Department of Agriculture, University of Ioannina, Arta, Greece. Prof. Dr. Ioannis Anastopoulos is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Agriculture, University of Ioannina, Arta, Greece. His research is focused on the following areas at the estimation of greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural soils after receiving organic and inorganic materials, the fabrication of different adsorbents for wastewater treatment, and the use of organic amendments for soil remediation. He is an author of publications in peer-reviewed journals (> 70 articles) with more than 3000 citations. His name is also included in the 2% top world scientists for the year 2019 (Baas, Jeroen; Boyack, Kevin; Ioannidis, John P.A. (2020), "Data for "Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators", Mendeley Data, V2, DOI: 10.17632/btchxktzyw.2#file-dd0904a8-0eba-4cf3-be4a-c6092261fed5) Eder Claudio Lima Professor, Institute of Chemistry, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. Prof. Lima is a Professor of the Institute of Chemistry at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. Prof Lima was editor of the Journal of Hazardous Materials from 2018 to 2020. He was an editor of the Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering (JECE) from 2013 to 2018 and Editor of Special Issues of JECE from 2018 to 2019. Now, Prof. Lima is an editor of Microporous and Mesoporous Materials. He has more than 200 published papers. He has been working on the removal of toxic compounds from aqueous effluents using various kinds of adsorbents. His research group is now broadly focused on the use of biomass, in natural and/or chemically modified forms, for the removal of toxic species from industrial effluents; the development of new adsorbent materials such as organo-functionalized silica and silicates, celluloses, and carbon nanotubes; and the production of new activated carbons derived from renewable sources. Lucas Meili Professor, Center of Technology, Federal University of Alagoas, Brazil. Lucas Meili is Professor in the Center of Technology at the Federal University of Alagoas, Macei�, Brazil. His areas of interest are focused in separation processes, water and wastewater treatment, and synthesis of materials, with a particular interest in adsorption and advanced oxidation processes. Dimitrios A Giannakoudakis Assistant Professor, Institute of Physical Chemistry of Polish Academy of Sciences, Greece. Dr. Dimitrios Giannakoudakis graduated as chemist from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) in Greece, where he obtained also two M.Sc. degrees (in Physical-chemistry & Electrochemistry and in New Educational Technologies). He received his PhD degree on "Nanotechnology and Materials Chemistry� from the City University of New York (CUNY) with full scholarship, in 02/2017. Then, he continued as postdoctoral-fellow and adjunct tutor at the City College of New York, AUTh, and the Institute of Physical Chemistry (IChF) of Polish Academy of Sciences. Afterwards, he served at IChF as adj. Assistant Professor and tutor of "Modern nano-Topics in Physical Chemistry�. Currently, he is Research Associate and tutor at AUTh.He has co-authored more than 105 publications in leading peer-reviewed journals (avg.
