Dr Deepak Gusain is an assistant professor in the Department of EnvironmentalStudies in PGDAV (Evening) College, University of Delhi. He earned his master'sdegree in environmental studies from the University of Delhi and completed hisPh.D. at the Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology (BanarasHindu University), Varansiin Varanasi, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at theInstitute for Water and Wastewater Technology in Durban University of Technology.His Ph.D. research focused on the remediation of chromium and cadmium fromaqueous solution using nanocrystalline material. In addition, he investigated theeffect of linear and nonlinear curve fitting on the estimation of isotherm and kineticand thermodynamic parameters during the adsorption process.Professor Faizal Bux is a professor and director of the Institute for Water andWastewater Technology, Durban University of Technology.
