Resource Recovery in Industrial Waste Waters

Resource Recovery in Industrial Waste Waters provides a holistic approach on 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, 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 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.
