Resource Recovery in Municipal Waste waters

This 3-volume set stresses the importance of contaminated waters remediation, including surface waters, municipal or industrial wastewaters, and treats these waters as a new source of nutrients, minerals, and energy. It introduces polluted waters as new and sustainable sources, rather than seeing wastewaters only a source of hazardous organic and inorganic matters. The volumes discuss wastewater treatment and wastewater recovery and contribute to generate a sustainable approach of wastewater by providing the main advantages and disadvantages of both wastewater/polluted water treatment and recovery.

Resource Recovery in Municipal Waste Waters considers wastewater not only as polluted water that must be treated but also as useful wastes, containing materials that can be separated and recycled. It provides various municipal wastewater remediation methods and techniques to recover materials from such waste waters. The basic principles of resource recovery are discussed, and recovery of methane, phosphorous, electricity, metals, and so is taken into account. The volume covers comprehensive cutting-edge techniques for resource recovery and municipal wastewater treatment and report new findings in these areas.
