Advanced Biological Treatment Processes for Industrial Wastewaters provides unique information relative to both the principles and applications of biological wastewater treatment systems for industrial effluents. Case studies document the application of biological wastewater treatment systems in different industrial sectors such as chemical, petrochemical, food-processing, mining, textile and fermentation.
With more than 70 tables, 100 figures, 200 equations and several illustrations, the book provides a broad and deep understanding of the main aspects to consider during the design and operation of industrial wastewater treatment plants.
Students, researchers and practitioners dealing with the design and application of biological systems for industrial wastewater treatment will find this book invaluable.
Phosphorus: Polluter and Resource of the Future: Removal and Recovery from Wastewater
Phosphorus has always been both a curse and a blessing. On the one hand, it is essential for all life forms and cannot be replaced by anything. On the other hand, wastewater treatment aims to...
Soil and Sediment Remediation
Soil and Sediment Remediation discusses in detail a whole set of remediative technologies currently available to minimise their impact.

Environmental Technologies to Treat Selenium Pollution: Principles and Engineering
Selenium contamination of air, aquatic environments, soils and sediments is a serious environmental concern of increasing importance. Selenium has a paradoxical feature in bringing about health...
Removal of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds in Water Reclamation Processes
With increasing water demands, the impetus to use treated wastewater to augment nonpotable and potable water supplies is growing. There is also increasing concern that recycled wastewater might...
Energy Efficiency in Value Engineering: Barriers and Pathways
Value engineering is a technique that wastewater treatment facilities (WWTFs) currently use, when required, to analyze cost reduction and performance optimization opportunities. The research...
Disinfectant Decay and Corrosion: Laboratory and Field Studies
The primary objective of this research was to develop and test a pipe-section reactor to measure the decay rate of disinfectant at the pipe wall. The pipe-section reactor is more convenient than...
Methane Evolution from Lagoons and Ponds
These case studies focus on the CH4 emissions from wastewater treatment in photosynthetic oxidation ponds and facultative sludge lagoons. These area-intensive processes are for cryophilic-to-...
