The availability of clean drinking water becomes a critical issue for all the people of the world due to a rapid increase in population and industrialization. The water bodies get contaminated due to the discharge of wastewater, that will not only disturb the aquatic life but also badly affect human health. Therefore, different methods are adopted to treat the contaminated water to make it clean and safe for people. In last few years, the nanomaterials have gained much attention for water treatment because of their unique properties. Among all nanomaterials, magnetic nanomaterials are considered more efficient and attractive because of their easy separation and reusable property. In this chapter, a brief review related to synthesis and characterization of MNM was studied along with their application in removal of dyes, heavy metals, and microbes from wastewater through simple adsorption processes.

This review analyzes the synthesis and characterization of biomass-derived carbons for adsorption of emerging contaminants from water. The study begins with the definition and different types of emerging contaminants more often founded in water streams and the different technologies available for their removal including adsorption. It also describes the biomass sources that could be used for the synthesis of biochars and activated carbons. The characterization of the adsorbents and the different approaches that could be employed for the study of the adsorption processes are also detailed. Finally, the work reviews in detail some studies of the literature focused on the adsorption of emerging contaminants on biochars and activated carbons synthesized from biomass precursors.

This chapter provides a general introduction to the new learners in the field of the synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles. The people who are familiar with this field but are unable to interpret the data will learn how to interpret from various data available. Keeping in the mind the usefulness of numerical data, this chapter includes a number of tables and graphs for the help and easy understanding of the students.

This review analyzes the preparation and characterization of biomass-derived carbons and their application as adsorbents of emerging contaminants from water. The study begins by identifying the different types of emerging contaminants more often found in water streams, including a brief reference to the available technologies for their removal. It also describes the biomass sources that could be used for the synthesis of biochars and activated carbons (AC). The characterization of the adsorbents and the different approaches that can be followed to learn about the adsorption processes are also detailed. Finally, the work reviews literature studies focused on the adsorption of emerging contaminants on biochars and activated carbons synthesized from biomass precursors.

In the article by Sydney E. Ahlstrom on “Thomas Hooker—Puritanism and Democratic Citizenship” in the December, 1963, issue of Church History (XXXII, 4, p. 418) an alteration on the proofs did not make the printer's deadline due to a postal delay. In the interests of precision, the characterization of Edmund S. Morgan's The Puritan Dilemma had been revised to read as follows:…he counteracts the interpretation of T. J. Wertenbaker and J. T. Adams by accenting the extension of political rights and the limitation of clerical authority in the Bay Colony. Compared to Winthrop's moderation, he finds the ‘belligerent precisionism’ of Thomas Dudley and Roger Williams impractical and ineffective.Mr. Morgan does say that Winthrop “extended political rights to a larger proportion of the people than enjoyed such rights in England” (p. 92) and that “of all the governments in the Western world at that time, that of early Massachusetts gave the clergy least authority” (p. 96), but not explicitly—as I may have implied—that the Bay Colony was “the most liberal government then existing in the world.”

It is now well established that laser plasma acceleration (LPA) is an innovative and good candidate in the beam acceleration field. Relativistic beams are indeed produced up to several GeV but their quality remains to be demonstrated in the highly demanding case of free-electron lasers (FELs). Several experiments have already shown the feasibility of synchrotron radiation delivery based on LPA but free-electron lasing has still to be achieved. Since the quality of the LPA beam inside the undulator is the critical issue, any LPA-based FEL experiment requires a refined characterization of the beam properties along the transport line and of the photon beam at the undulator exit. This characterization relies on diagnostics which must be adapted to the LPA specificities. Here, the electron and photon diagnostics already used on LPAs and required for LPA-based FELs are reviewed, and the critical points are illustrated using recent experiments performed around the world.
