Sustainable Technologies for Water and Wastewater Treatment
discusses relevant sustainable technologies for water and
wastewater treatment pertaining to a nanoscale approach to water
treatment and desalination, membrane-based technologies for water
recovery and reuse, the energy and water nexus, degradation of
organic pollutants, nascent technologies, bio and bio-inspired
materials for water reclamation and integrated systems, and an
overview of wastewater treatment plants. The book focuses on
advanced topics including in situ generation of hydroxyl radicals,
which can aid in the indiscriminate oxidation of any contaminant
present in wastewater, making advanced oxidation processes
commercially viable. Features: A comprehensive review of current
and novel water and wastewater treatment technologies from a
sustainability perspective All the sustainable technologies, such
as desalination, wastewater treatment, advanced oxidation
processes, hydrodynamic cavitation, membrane-based technologies,
sonosorption, and electrospun fibers Discussion on reference
materials for important research accomplishments in the area of
water and environmental engineering Theoretical aspects covering
principles and instrumentation A summary on sustainability,
including life cycle assessment (LCA), energy balance and
large-scale implementation of advanced techniques This book is
aimed at professionals, graduate students, and researchers in
civil, chemical, environmental engineering, and materials science.

Nano-Enabled Technologies for Water Remediation highlights several
aspects of wastewater treatment using low-dimensional carbon-based
materials. The book also focuses on advances in membrane-based
separation, specifically on the pressure driven membrane process.
In the case of membrane advances, the focus is exclusively on metal
and metal oxide, mixed matrix membranes, GO, and CNT loaded
membranes for targeted pollutant removal. Further, new and upcoming
technologies of membrane preparation, via the electrospinning
method, and advances in membrane distillation and wastewater
remediation are discussed. In addition, the book includes coverage
of recent advances occurring in sustainable technologies for
wastewater remediation with bio-active nanomaterials, bio-inspired,
and bio-templated nanomaterials which assist readers in gaining a
new perspective for implementing nature-mimicked designs for water
treatment and conservation.
This book covers an extensive range of issues related to
constructed wetlands for treatment of stormwater and wastewater.
Chapter One covers the functions and classifications of constructed
wetlands, treatment processes of wetlands and a detailed
description of microphytes. Chapter Two provides details of the
design of wetlands and their construction. Chapter Three provides
details of the important issue of operation and maintenance of
constructed wetlands. Chapter Four highlights all the experience
gained from managing a large and prominent urban wetland. Chapter
Five outlines the importance of engaging the community when
planning, designing and constructing wetlands. The book is useful
for environmental professionals desiring a good appreciation of the
concepts in constructed wetlands. This book is also a useful
reference for graduate and post-graduate students of civil and
environmental engineering, chemical engineering, environmental
management or environmental science.
Membrane Technology and Environmental Applications explains the use
of membrane materials as a direct, effective, and sustainable way
to address environmental problems. Membranes are a core technology
for separating material mixtures, such as wastewater and saltwater,
and offer significant advantages over other technologies. Membrane
technologies are relatively simple in concept and operation,
flexible, and compatible with integrated systems in many
environments. They can also minimise the use of treatment
chemicals, the production of residuals, and energy consumption.
This volume provides in-depth technical information on the
fundamentals, applications, and recent advances of membrane
technology, including state-of-the-art reviews of current research,
critical analysis of new processes and materials, and avenues for
further study. Chapters examine environmental applications such as
treatment of drinking water, wastewater, and industrial wastewater;
water reclamation and reuse; desalination; removal of arsenic and
emerging contaminants; treatment of greywater and rainwater, and
the production of bioproducts from wastewater sludge. New research
is described on such topics as membrane fouling, process
enhancement, membrane biofilm reactors, nanomaterials, and new
separation techniques. Chapters contain extensive illustrations,
case studies, summary tables, and up-to-date references. For
practicing engineers, environmental and treatment-plant managers,
and government officials, this volume is an essential guide for
designing and implementing membrane technologies. Educators,
graduate and undergraduate students, and researchers involved in
environmental engineering and science will find this book to be a
valuable learning tool and reference.
