Water pollution occurs when toxic pollutants of varying kinds
(organic, inorganic, radioactive and so on) are directly or
indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment
to remove such potential pollutants. Today's sources of these
potential pollutants, which cause high deterioration of freshwater
quality, are city sewage and industrial waste discharge, human
agricultural practices, industrial waste disposal practices, mining
activities, civil and structural work activities and obviously
natural contamination with climate change. When our water is
polluted, it is not only devastating to the environment but also to
human health. Therefore, development of water and wastewater
treatment processes to alleviate water pollution has been a
challenging and demanding task for engineers, scientists and
researchers. Perhaps this is even more challenging for
underdeveloped and developing countries, where water and wastewater
treatment facilities, knowledge and infrastructure are limited.
Water and wastewater treatment processes are broad and often
multidisciplinary in nature, comprising a mixture of research areas
including physical, chemical and biological methods to remove or
transform various potential pollutants. This is in hopes to achieve
acceptable water quality and satisfy governmental and environmental
protection agencies' laws and regulations. With these objectives,
this book has been written in order to provide various research
results and compilation and up-to-date development on the current
states of knowledge and techniques in the broad field of water and
wastewater treatment processes. Basically, this book will give a
comprehensive understanding and advancement and application of
various physical, chemical and biological treatment methods in the
reduction of potential pollutants (inorganics/organics) from water
and wastewater. There are a total 18 book chapters contributed by
large number of expert authors around the world, covering the
following main research areas: Physical, chemical and biological
water treatment processes such as adsorption, biosorption,
coagulation/flocculation, electrocoagulation, denitration, membrane
filtration/separation, photo-catalytic reduction, advanced
oxidation, nutrients removal by struvite crystallisation and
nanotechnology; Physical, chemical and biological methods for
municipal wastewater and industrial wastewater treatment plants
such as primary-secondary sludge treatments, anaerobic digestions,
aerobic treatment, activated sludge processes, dewaterability by
flocculants, pre-treatments of sludge and rheology of sludge in
wastewater treatment; Various operational units/equipment and
process control of wastewater treatment plant.
