Carbon Nanomaterials in Biomedicine and the Environment

Carbon nanomaterials possess special physical and chemical properties. As adsorbents, they are widely used for the purification of water and other liquids, recovery of valuable substances from liquid and gaseous media, and oil refining and also in petrochemical, wine, oil and fat, and other industries. They can be used in medicine, both for the creation of hemosorption systems that are capable of performing specific purification of blood and other physiological fluids, including removal of various exo- and endotoxicants, and for the construction of highly effective adsorbed probiotics.

The creation of nanostructured carbon-containing materials is a rapidly developing research field. This book focuses on the recent developments in the synthesis of nanostructured carbon multifunctional sorbents and will be useful for scientists, chemical industry specialists, professors, and Masters and PhD students of chemical, physical and biological sciences.
