Wastewater Treatment: Recycling, Management, and Valorization of Industrial Solid Wastes bridges the gap between the theory and applications of wastewater treatments, principles of diffusion, and the mechanism of biological and industrial treatment processes. It presents the practical applications that illustrate the treatment of several types of data, providing an overview of the characterization and treatment of wastewaters, and then examining the different biomaterials and methods for the evaluation of the treatment of biological wastewaters. Further, it considers the various types of industrial wastewater treatment, separation, and characterization of industrial wastewater. The book serves as a valuable resource for practicing engineers and students who are interested in the field of wastewater treatment.
Features:
- Presents the latest technologies in water treatment, including nanomaterials for industrial wastewater
- Covers different treatments for various industrial wastewaters, including chemical and pharmaceutical waste
- Includes forward-thinking analysis including conclusions and recommendations for water reuse programs
