Biological Treatment Processes

Hardcover  818 pp  ISBN 9781588291639      £86.00

Pollution and its effects on the environment have emerged as critical areas of research within the past 30 years. The Handbook of Environmental Engineering is a collection of methodologies that study the effects of pollution and waste in their three basic forms: gas, solid, and liquid. In Volume 8 tried-and-true solutions comprise a "methodology of pollution control." The distinguished panel of authors contribute detailed chapters, which include topics ranging from treatment by land application, activated sludge processes, and submerged aeration to trickling filters, lagoons, rotating biological contactors, sequencing batch reactors, digestions, and composting.

Written for environmental engineers, undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, scientists and designers of wastewater, biosolids and sludge treatment systems
