Sustainable Technologies for Water and Wastewater Treatment discusses relevant sustainable technologies for water and wastewater treatment pertaining to a nanoscale approach to water treatment and desalination, membrane-based technologies for water recovery and reuse, the energy and water nexus, degradation of organic pollutants, nascent technologies, bio and bio-inspired materials for water reclamation and integrated systems, and an overview of wastewater treatment plants. The book focuses on advanced topics including in situ generation of hydroxyl radicals, which can aid in the indiscriminate oxidation of any contaminant present in wastewater, making advanced oxidation processes commercially viable.

Features:

  • A comprehensive review of current and novel water and wastewater treatment technologies from a sustainability perspective
  • All the sustainable technologies, such as desalination, wastewater treatment, advanced oxidation processes, hydrodynamic cavitation, membrane-based technologies, sonosorption, and electrospun fibers
  • Discussion on reference materials for important research accomplishments in the area of water and environmental engineering
  • Theoretical aspects covering principles and instrumentation
  • A summary on sustainability, including life cycle assessment (LCA), energy balance and large-scale implementation of advanced techniques

This book is aimed at professionals, graduate students, and researchers in civil, chemical, environmental engineering, and materials science.%u3000
