Environmental Separation of Heavy Metals: Engineering Processes

by Arup K. SenGupta (Editor)

Overview

This new book explains advanced and emerging technologies for removing heavy metals from wastestreams and contaminated sites. Separation processes of this type are critical for meeting stringent regulations of priority pollutants, especially arsenic, mercury, and lead, which the text treats in depth. After explaining the chemistry of heavy metals a
