As the global population grows
and many developing countries modernize, the importance of water supply and wastewater
treatment becomes a much greater factor in the welfare of nations. Clearly, in
today’s world the competition for water resources coupled with the unfortunate
commingling of wastewater discharges with freshwater supplies creates
additional pressure on treatment systems. Recently, researchers focus on
wastewater treatment by difference methods with minimal cost and maximum
efficiency.
This
volume of the Wastewater Engineering: Advanced Wastewater Treatment Systems is
a selection of topics related to physical-chemical and biological processes
with an emphasis on their industrial applications. It gives an overview of
various aspects in wastewater treatments methods including topics such as biological,
bioremediation, electrochemical, membrane and physical-chemical applications. Experts
in the area of environmental sciences from diverse institutions worldwide have
contributed to this book, which should prove to be useful to students,
teachers, and researchers in the disciplines of wastewater engineering, chemical
engineering, environmental engineering, and biotechnology. We gratefully
acknowledge the cooperation and support of all the contributing authors.
