This book consists of select peer-reviewed papers from the
International Conference on Sustainable Environmental Engineering
and Science (SEES) 2019. The main focus of the book is to propose
sustainable technologies to address the growing environmental
challenges. The contents cover several topics of relevance such as
air pollution, solid waste management, wastewater treatment,
industrial pollution, and suggests eco-friendly and cost-effective
techniques to tackle them. Given the range of topics covered, the
book will be useful to researchers and professionals working in the
multidisciplinary area of sustainability.

Currently, it is a serious concern to manage waste in the
environment. Therefore, detailed knowledge of heavy metals, their
eco-toxicological and health effects and ecofriendly approaches for
their immobilization and detoxification is urgently required to
control and minimize the environmental pollution. Composting is one
of the popular methods in waste management and there are a lot of
issues pertaining to composting. One of it is the leaching of heavy
metals. This book discusses thoroughly, the availability,
leachability and the speciation of heavy metals in the entire
process of composting.
Biodegradation and Detoxification of Micropollutants in Industrial
Wastewater summarizes the occurrence and source of micropollutants
through various industrial wastewaters. It covers the type of
micropollutants, their effects, and emerging detection and
treatment methods. The book has 11 chapters, and throughout each
chapter, it presents the fate and effects of micropollutants,
quantitative and qualitative analysis of micropollutants in
industrial wastewaters, and treatment of micropollutants through
conventional and advanced wastewater treatment technologies.
Bioremediation of Endocrine Disrupting Pollutants in Industrial
Wastewater describes the occurrence and sources of endocrine
disruptive pollutants (EDPs) in various industrial wastewaters. It
discusses the type of EDPs, their effects and detection and
treatment methods and presents the fate and effect of EDPs, their
quantitative and qualitative analysis in industrial wastewaters and
treatment through conventional and advanced technologies. It also
presents the most advanced and innovative approaches for the
management of EDPs in industrial wastewaters.The book will be a
vital source of information for the students and researchers who
have interest in emerging pollutants, specifically endocrine
disruptive pollutants for their treatment and management.
Due to high operating, transport costs and the poorly developed
market for compost, the expected profits could not be realized as
planned. Since 1990s, there is a trend towards smaller, manually
operated composting plants at community level, initiated primarily
by citizen initiatives or non-governmental organizations. Hence it
recommended that instead of setting up single large compost plants,
it would be beneficial and more effective to set up several small
composting plants. Decentralized composting can be operated by an
appropriate technology and implemented at reduced investment and
operating costs. An efficient and promising technique in
decentralized composting is the rotary drum composter. It is an
excellent concept for smaller communities or in the case of
projects that require a rapid and an enclosed pathogen killing
process. This book, therefore, provides information on operational
aspects and compost dynamics for the mixed municipal organic wastes
in a rotary drum composter. The investigations should be useful for
professionals in waste management fields, urban local bodies and
institutional bodies.
