Advances in Wastewater Treatment

The book presents a compendium of the key topics surrounding wastewater treatment, assembled by looking at the future technologies, and provides future perspectives in wastewater treatment and modelling. It covers the fundamentals and innovative wastewater treatment processes (such as membrane bioreactors and granular process). Furthermore, the book will focus attention on mathematical modelling aspects in the field of wastewater treatments by highlighting the key role of models in process design, operation and control. Each topic will be addressed by discussing past, present and future trends.
