Consequently, a basis for the development, use, and applications of magnetic biosorbents for adsorption employing various contaminants to achieve environmental sustainability and safety is thus anticipated to be provided by the book titled "Environmental Applications of Magnetic Sorbents." This book comprises ten (10) chapters that will particularly focus on advanced research in the use of timely and useful inspired techniques in the synthesis of novel magnetic biosorbents using facile synthesis methods, as well as the characterization and extensive applications of the synthesised magnetic biosorbents in the bioremediation and decontamination of contaminants. The application of magnetic sorbents in seed germination and their use in improving photovoltaic performance are also captured in this book. Also discussed in this book are the challenges and perspectives of magnetic sorbent applications for environmental sustainability.Students, researchers, and professionals in the domains of environmental science, material science, agriculture, nanotechnology, bioremediation technology, soil biology, etc. will use the book as a reference source.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Kingsley Eghonghon Ukhurebor is a Senior Lecturer/Researcher and the present acting head of the Department of Physics at Edo State University, Uzairue, Nigeria, and a research fellow at the West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL), Competence Centre, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, a Climate Institute sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany. He had a Ph.D. in Physics Electronics from the University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria. He is a member of several learned academic organisations, such as the Nigerian Young Academy (NYA), etc. His research interests are in applied physics, climate physics, environmental physics, telecommunication physics, and material science (nanotechnology). He serves as an editor and reviewer for several reputable journals and publishers, such as Springer Nature, Elsevier, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), the Institute of Physics (IOP), Taylor & Francis, John Wiley & Sons, the IEEE, Frontiers, Hindawi, etc., as well as a supervisor and examiner for undergraduate and postgraduate students. He has authored or co-authored several publications with these reputable journals and publishers. He is presently ranked among the top 50 authors in Nigeria by Scopus scholarly output.
