Environmental Transport Processes

A unique approach to the challenges of complex environmentalsystems
Environmental Transport Processes, Second Edition providesmuch-needed guidance on mass transfer principles in environmentalengineering. It focuses on working with uncontrolled conditionsinvolving biological and physical systems, offering examples fromdiverse fields, including mass transport, kinetics, wastewatertreatment, and unit processes.
This new edition is fully revised and updated, incorporatingmodern approaches and practice problems at the end of chapters,making the Second Edition more concise, accessible, and easy touse.
The book discusses the fundamentals of transport processesoccurring in natural environments, with special emphasis on workingat the biological-physical interface. It considers transportand kinetics in terms of systems that involve microorganisms, alongwith in-depth coverage of particles, size spectra, and calculationsfor particles that can be considered either spheres or fractals.The book's treatment of particles as fractals is especially uniqueand the Second Edition includes a new section on exoelectrogenicbiofilms. It also addresses dispersion in natural and engineeredsystems unlike any other book on the subject.
Readers will learn to tackle with confidence complexenvironmental systems and make transport calculations inheterogeneous environments with mixtures of chemicals.
