The prevention of over-exploitation and the efficient use of
natural resources are key goals of environmental managment in
Industry. Waste Gas Treatment for Resource Recovery presents the
reader with technical, ecological and economical aspects of gaseous
effluent treatment and resource recovery. Practical experience from
industry and agriculture is presented, the role of newly developed
advanced technology in future recycling of gas streams discussed
and attention given to criteria for sustainability in gas
treatment. Detailed analysis of material flows, novel process
applications and bioreactor designs, odour quantification and
removal process techniques and European legislations for waste gas
discharge and recovery are highlights of the extensive and
comprehensive coverage of this book. Waste Gas Treatment for
Resource Recovery will enable production, process and environmental
engineers and managers to evaluate internal recycling
possibilities, which contribute to an economically and
environmentally friendly manufacturing processes with reduced
pollution loads and waste gas volumes. . Analysis of material
flows, e.g. the development of methodologies and techniques to
monitor the use and flow of materials on a life cycle basis .Novel
process applications and bioreactor designs for resource recovery
from waste gases . Odour quantification techniques and novel odour
removal processes . European dimension of polluted gas streams and
the European legislation for waste gas discharges and recovery
Air pollution, a major concern at the end of the 20th century,
still remains a significant problem to be solved today.
Traditionally, industrial waste gases have primarily been treated
through physical or chemical methods. The search for new,
efficient, and cost-effective alternative technologies has led to
the development and, more recently, the improvement of gas phase
bioreactors. This book is the first single text to provide a
complete, comprehensive picture of all major biological reactors
suitable for solving air pollution problems. The text describes the
main features and covers the major aspects, from microbiological to
engineering, as well as economic aspects, of the different types of
bioreactors. The book also presents an in-depth review of the
subject, from fundamental bench-scale research to industrial field
applications related to the operation of full-scale systems
successfully treating polluted air in Europe and the United States.
Material dedicated to more conventional non-biological technologies
has also been included, to provide a complete overview of the
different alternative treatment processes. Audience: The different
chapters have been written by international experts, as a result of
a fruitful collaboration between European and American scientists
and engineers. The resulting text is a high quality, valuable
reference tool for a variety of readers, including graduate and
postgraduate students, researchers, professors, engineers, and
those professionals who are interested in environmental engineering
and, more specifically, in innovative air pollution control
technologies.
