Sommario/riassunto |
|
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 |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
In 1969 the first edition of this book introduced the concepts of statistics and their medical application to readers with no formal training in this area. While retaining this basic aim, the authors have expanded the coverage in each subsequent edition to keep pace with the increasing use and sophistication of statistics in medical research. This fifth edition has undergone major restructuring, with some sections completely rewritten; it is now more logically organized and more user friendly (with the addition of 'summary boxes' throughout the text). It incorporates new statistical techniq |

Sommario/riassunto |

This book discusses new and innovative trends and techniques in the application of nanotechnology to industrial wastewater treatment both at a laboratory scale and an industry scale, including treatment, remediation, sensing and pollution prevention. The book also explores unique physicochemical and surface properties of nanoparticles; it highlights advantages they provide for engineering applications. Each chapter covers a different nanotechnology-based approach and examines basic principles, practical applications, recent breakthroughs and associated limitations. Nanotechnology applications to wastewater research have significant impact in maintaining the long-term quality, availability and viability of water. Regardless of the origin—for example, |

municipal or industrial wastewater—the remediation nanotechnology allows water to be recycled and desalinized in addition to simultaneously detecting biological and chemical contamination. The book describes a broad area of nanotechnology and water research where membrane processes (nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and nanoreactive membranes) are considered key components of advanced water purification and desalination technologies that remove, reduce or neutralize water contaminants. Various nanoparticles and nanomaterials that could be used in water remediation (zeolites, carbon nanotubes, self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports, biopolymers, single-enzyme nanoparticles, zero-valent iron nanoparticles, bimetallic iron nanoparticles and nanoscale semiconductor photocatalysts) are also discussed. This book is beneficial for students and academicians to understand the recent research advancements in the field. |
