Development in Wastewater Treatment Research and Processes

Advanced Oxidation Processes for Tannery Effluent provides a detailed overview of currently applied and tested sewage treatment technologies and he integration of advanced processes to remove trace organic contaminants and micro-organisms. The book discusses the potential of improved biological treatment to produce reusable wastewater, new municipal wastewater disinfection processes and the reduction of bacteria resistant to antibiotics as well as the effects of advanced oxidation processes on microbial and chemical contaminants. Advanced Oxidation Processes for Tannery Effluent features membrane bioreactors, moving bed bioreactors, light and solar technology, ozonation and immobilized heterogeneous photocatalysis, and provides an assessment of the potential of built wetlands integrated with advanced oxidation technologies to ensure wastewater recycling for reuse. The book discusses issues and standards for water reuse, the state of application of membrane bioreactors and the treatment of reverse osmosis concentrate for better water use in wastewater treatment. It presents the latest developments in the field of drinking water reuse and addresses various important issues in this context, such as proper public health protection, reliability and monitoring. - Includes advanced oxidation processes for wastewater treatment - Describes various methodologies to treat tannery effluent - Outlines applications of different types of treatment strategies to cope up with tannery effluent - Applies tertiary advanced oxidation process to remove toxic contaminants from wastewater - Provides biochemical pathways of degraded contaminants through various oxidation processes
