Trends in Biological Processes in Industrial Wastewater Treatment

by Maulin Shah (Editor)

Overview

The proposed book is mainly related to each of the main factors contributing to the removal of toxic pollutants from wastewater. This includes methods and procedures, materials (especially low-cost materials originating from industrial and agricultural waste), management of wastewater containing toxic pollutants and valorisation possibilities of waste resulting from the removal of toxic pollutants from wastewater.

Key Features:

• Includes the latest available technologies for treating industrial wastewater.

• Covers extensively the advancement in biological treatments, advanced oxidation techniques and membrane technology to remove water pollutants.

• Contains an easy-to-use guider manual for all the enlisted smart techniques.

• Describes and discusses the emerging futuristic technologies in industrial pollutants removal from wastewater.
