Development in Wastewater Treatment Research and Processes

Advanced Oxidation Processes for Tannery Effluent provides a detailed overview of currently applied and tested sewage treatment technologies and the integration of advanced processes to remove trace organic contaminants and micro-organisms. The book discusses the potential of improved biological treatment to produce reusable wastewater, new municipal wastewater disinfection processes, the reduction of bacteria resistant to antibiotics, as well as the effects of advanced oxidation processes on microbial and chemical contaminants. It features membrane bioreactors, moving bed bioreactors, light and solar technology, ozonation and immobilized heterogeneous photocatalysis, and more. In addition, the book discusses issues and standards for water reuse, the state of application of membrane bioreactors, and the treatment of reverse osmosis concentrate for better water use in wastewater treatment. Final sections present the latest developments in the field of drinking water reuse and address various important issues in this context, such as proper public health protection, reliability and monitoring.
