Description
Water Remediation Methods and Wastewater Treatment is an essential guide focusing on water reuse, wastewater, and wastewater applications for resource recovery and sustainability. The book's editors, all experts in the field, cover various physical, chemical, and biological methods which are being utilized to provide a complete remediation to an extent where wastewater could be discharged safely into inland waterbodies or could be possibly reused for agriculture or other purposes. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the current strategies and tools that are used to address water pollution and the efficient treatment of contaminated water sources.Using real-life applications and case studies, this comprehensive reference book is a necessary tool for students and researchers learning about waste remediation and wastewater treatment.- Provides introductory information on the removal and elimination of contaminants from wastewater- Centers on the implications of circular economy concepts on wastewater treatment, including energy capturing, nutrient recovery, material re-use and material efficiency, new partnerships, and business models- Offers insights on the latest approach in the synthesis of adsorbents, hybrid of interconnection of wastewater treatment and challenges, and future opportunities- Includes detailed case studies with how-to approaches to prepare students and researchers
