Resource Recovery in Industrial Waste Waters

Resource Recovery in Industrial Waste Waters provides a holistic approach for discovering and harnessing valuable resources from industrial wastewaters, the cutting-edge technologies required, and a discussion on the new findings. In three volumes, the books stress the importance of contaminated waters' remediation, including surface waters, municipal or industrial wastewaters and treating these waters as a new source of nutrients, minerals and energy. It introduces polluted waters as new and sustainable sources, rather than seeing wastewaters as only a source of hazardous organic and inorganic matters. Sections discuss wastewater treatment and 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. - Reviews the current status of industrial wastewater treatment methods- Discusses the growing need of resource recovery from industrial wastewater, along with the challenges- Describes the importance of water reuse for combating water scarcity by describing current techniques and challenges- Evaluates the potential of the current market and status towards industrial wastewater resource recovery- Considers cutting-edge technologies for resource recovery- Contains comprehensive discussions on possibility of almost all recoverable resources from industrial wastewater
