Activated Carbon for Water and Wastewater Treatment

Ferhan Cecen, Özgür Aktas - Activated Carbon for Water and Wastewater Treatment
Published: 2011-11-01 | ISBN: 3527324712 | PDF | 406 pages | 3.78 MB

This monograph provides comprehensive coverage of technologies which integrate adsorption and biological processes in water and wastewater treatment. The authors provide both an introduction to the topic as well as a detailed discussion of theoretical and practical considerations.
After a review of the basics involved in the chemistry, biology and technology of integrated adsorption and biological removal, they discuss the setup of pilot- and full-scale treatment facilities, covering powdered as well as granular activated carbon. They elucidate the factors that influence the successful operation of integrated systems. Their discussion on integrated systems expands from the effects of environmental to the removal of various pollutants, to regeneration of activated carbon, and to the analysis of such systems in mathematical terms. The authors conclude with a look at future needs for research and develoment.
A truly valuable resource for environmental engineers, environmental and water chemists, as well as professionals working in water and wastewater treatment.

Industrial Waste Treatment Handbook

Woodard & Curran Inc, "Industrial Waste Treatment Handbook" 
Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann | ISBN: 0750679638 | edition 2006 | PDF | 532 pages | 27.2 mb

Industrial Waste Treatment Handbook provides the most reliable methodology for identifying which waste types are produced from particular industrial processes and how they can be treated. There is a thorough explanation of the fundamental mechanisms by which pollutants become dissolved or become suspended in water or air. Building on this knowledge, the reader will learn how different treatment processes work, how they can be optimized, and the most efficient method for selecting candidate treatment processes.

Utilizing the most up-to-date examples from recent work at one of the leading environmental and science consulting firms, this book also illustrates approaches to solve various environmental quality problems and the step-by-step design of facilities. 

- Practical applications to assist with the selection of appropriate treatment technology for target pollutants. 
- Includes case studies based on current work by experts in waste treatment, disposal, management, environmental law and data management. 
- Provides glossary and table of acronyms for easy reference.
