The Handbook of Chemical Technology and Pollution Control (3rd Edition) provides
a detailed review of the chemistry and operating conditions of many of the present large-scale
chemical processes important to our economy and high standards of living. The processes that
could lead to emissions affecting our air, soil, and water are considered, together with ways in which
it may be possible to reduce or eliminate these pollutants. Focusing on cleaner production concepts
without neglecting 'end of pipe' measures. With an increase in the awareness of corporate and social
responsibility among business and industry leaders, the pressure to reduce harmful emissions and the desire
to increase efficiencies and energy utilization, this book provides an essential resource. Suitable for researchers,
practitioners and postgraduate students in the fields of chemical and biochemical engineering and environmental
science, as well as government monitoring and regulatory agencies and industry leaders who want to stay one
step ahead, this book will be a valuable addition to any library.
Of interest to researchers, practitioners and postgraduate students in the fields of chemical and biochemical
engineering, environmental science, government monitoring and regulatory affairs.
