This book highlights the impacts of emerging pollutants (both
organic and inorganic) in water bodies and the role and
performances of different water and wastewater treatment approaches
that are presently being employed in the field of environmental
engineering. Some of these approaches are focused on 'end-of-pipe'
treatment, while most of these approaches are focused on the
application of novel physic-chemical and biological techniques for
wastewater treatment and reuse. The goal of this book is to present
the emerging technologies and trends in the field of water and
wastewater treatment. The papers in this book provide clear proof
that environmentally friendly (bio)technologies are becoming more
and more important and playing a critical role in removing a wide
variety of organic and inorganic pollutants from water. In Focus -
a book series that showcases the latest accomplishments in water
research. Each book focuses on a specialist area with papers from
top experts in the field. It aims to be a vehicle for in-depth
understanding and inspire further conversations in the sector. This

The rapid development of nanoscience enables a technology
revolution that will soon impact virtually every facet of the water
sector. Yet, there is still too little understanding of what
nanoscience and nanotechnology is, what can it do and whether to
fear it or not, even among the educated public as well as
scientists and engineers from other disciplines. Despite the
numerous books and textbooks available on the subject, there is a
gap in the literature that bridges the space between the synthesis
(conventional and more greener methods) and use (applications in
the drinking water production, wastewater treatment and
environmental remediation fields) of nanotechnology on the one hand
and its potential environmental implications (fate and transport of
nanomaterials, toxicity, Life Cycle Assessments) on the other.
Nanotechnology for Water and Wastewater Treatment explores these
topics with a broad-based multidisciplinary scope and can be used
by engineers and scientists outside the field and by students at
both undergraduate and post graduate level.
Over the last few years there has been a growing concern over the
increasing concentration of micropollutants originating from a
great variety of sources including pharmaceutical, chemical
engineering and personal care product industries in rivers, lakes,
soil and groundwater. As most of the micropollutants are polar and
persistent compounds, they are only partially or not at all removed
from wastewater and thus can enter the environment posing a great
risk to the biota. It is hypothesized that wastewater is one of the
most important point sources for micropollutants. Treatment of
Micropollutants in Water and Wastewater gives a comprehensive
overview of modern analytical methods and will summarize novel
single and hybrid methods to remove continuously emerging
contaminants - micropollutants from the aqueous phase. New trends
(e.g. sensor technology, nanotechnology and hybrid treatment
technologies) are described in detail. The book is very timely
because the new techniques are still in the development phase and
have to be realized not only in the laboratory but also on a larger
scale. The content of the book is divided into chapters that
present current descriptive and analytical methods that are
available to detect and measure micropollutants together with
detailed information on various chemical, biological and
physicochemical methods that have evolved over the last few
decades. Treatment of Micropollutants in Water and Wastewater will
also enable readers to make well informed choices through providing
an understanding of why and how micropollutants must be removed
from water sources, and what are the most appropriate and available
techniques for providing a cost and technologically effective and
sustainable solutions for reaching the goal of micropollutant-free
water and wastewater. The book will be suitable for water and
wastewater professionals as well for students and researchers in
civil engineering, environmental engineering and process
engineering fields.
One of the major challenges in the world is to provide clean water
and sanitation for all. With 3% fresh water reserves in the earth,
there are more than 1 billion people who still lack access to clean
drinking water. The declining water quality has not only reduced
the life expectancy of humans, but it has also contributed to the
deleterious negative impacts on aquatic/marine life, flora, fauna
and the ecosystem. However, with rapid technological advancements
and the availability of advanced scientific instruments, there has
been substantial improvement in the design and operation of water
and wastewater treatment systems. Recently, these sustainable
eco-technologies have been designed and operated to offer the
following advantages: (i) a smaller footprint, (ii) less
maintenance, (iii) >99% removal of contaminants, (iv) provides
the option for resource recovery, (v) less energy consumption, (vi)
minimal use of chemicals, and (vii) less investment and operational
costs. This book highlights the technologies used for the removal
of pollutants such as dyes, uranium, cyanotoxins, faecal
contamination and P/N compounds from water environments, and shows
that ecotechnologies are becoming more and more important and
playing critical role in removing a wide variety of organic and
inorganic pollutants from water. In Focus - a book series that
showcases the latest accomplishments in water research. Each book
focuses on a specialist area with papers from top experts in the
field. It aims to be a vehicle for in-depth understanding and
inspire further conversations in the sector.
Food, Medical, and Environmental Applications of Nanomaterials is
designed to cover different types of nanomaterials that have
applications related to the environment, food and medicine. It is
an important resource for materials scientists and bioengineers
looking to learn more about the applications of nanomaterials for
sustainable development applications. Nanoscale materials possess
excellent properties that have been explored in the areas of
biomedicals, food, agriculture, the environment, catalysis, sensing
and energy storage. Examples of these new applications include
smart and active food packaging, nanobiosensors, bioremediation,
wastewater treatment, implant coatings, tissue engineering,
delivery systems for food and pharmaceutical applications, and food
safety.
Nature-based solutions (NbS) are solutions inspired or supported by
nature. They include ecosystem conservation and restoration
measures, as well as the creation or enhancement of natural
processes in man-made ecosystems, such as cities. Recent interest
in NbS has emphasized their importance for urban water management
and cities across the world have begun to experiment with them.
Experiences from different contexts, however, are not adequately
captured and understood. This book aims to address this gap by
compiling case studies and reviews that explore NbS for urban water
management from different regions and perspectives and highlight
emerging challenges and opportunities for harnessing their
potential.
Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering:
Biological Treatment of Industrial Effluents provides extensive
coverage of new developments, state-of-the-art technologies, and
potential future trends in data-based scientific knowledge and
advanced information on the role and application of environmental
biotechnology and engineering in the treatment of industrial
effluents. These treatment processes have been broadly classified
under aerobic and anaerobic processes which determines the scope
and level of pollutant removal. Chapters in this volume review the
most recent developments and perspectives at different
environmental cleanup operation scales.
