A successful modern heavy metal control program for any industry
will include not only traditional water pollution control, but also
air pollution control, soil conservation, site remediation,
groundwater protection, public health management, solid waste
disposal, and combined industrial-municipal heavy metal waste
management. In fact, it should be a total environmental control
program. Comprehensive in scope, Heavy Metals in the Environment
provides technical and economical information on the development of
a feasible total heavy metal control program that can benefit
industry and local municipalities. The book discusses the
importance and contamination of metals such as lead, chromium,
cadmium, zinc, copper, nickel, iron, and mercury. It covers
important research of metals in the environment, the processes and
mechanisms for metals control and removal, the environmental
behavior and effects of engineered metal and metal oxide
nanoparticles, environmental geochemistry of high arsenic aquifer
systems, nano-technology applications in metal ion adsorption,
biosorption of metals, and heavy metal removal by
expopolysaccharide-producing cyanobacteria. The authors delineate
technologies for metals treatment and management, metal bearing
effluents, metal-contaminated solid wastes, metal finishing
industry wastes and brownfield sites, and arsenic-contaminated
groundwater streams. They also discuss control, treatment, and
management of metal emissions from motor vehicles. The authors
reflect the breadth of the field and draw on personal experiences
to provide an in-depth presentation of environmental pollution
sources, waste characteristics, control technologies, management
strategies, facility innovations, process alternatives, costs, case
histories, effluent standards, and future trends for each
industrial or commercial operation. The methodologies and
technologies discussed are directly applicable to the waste
management problems that must be met in all industries.
