This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. This new book
provides a multiperspective look at research into many elements of
remediating environmental hazards connected to sewage and landfill
leachate. Sewage and landfill leachate treatments include various
processes that are used to manage and dispose of the liquid
portions of solid waste. Untreated leachate and sewage are hazards
to the environment if they enter the water system. The goal of
treatment is to reduce the contaminating load to the point that
leachate and sewage liquids may be safely released into
groundwater, streams, lakes, and the ocean. Around the world,
however, huge volumes of contaminated water from sewage and
landfill leachate is still pumped directly into water systems,
especially in the world's developing nations. Aside from the damage
to marine environments and fisheries that this causes, it also
jeopardizes the world's vulnerable water resources. This compendium
volume explores effective sewage management, which is essential for
nutrient recycling and for maintaining ecosystem integrity. It
looks at a range of technologies that are available for the
treatment of sewage and landfill leachate. The editor, himself a
respected and experienced researcher in this field, includes
chapters that cover biological treatments, reverse osmosis, and
chemical-physical processes. This volume offers important research
that will help us both assess our existing treatment facilities, as
well as build better, more effective ones for the future.
