Decarbonization of Wastewater Pollutants as a Sustainable Solution

Decarbonization of Wastewater Pollutants as a Sustainable Solution: Developments in Wastewater Treatment Research and Processes explores eco-friendly techniques for treating wastewater, enabling the recycling of pollutants and managing residual wastes in a biologically acceptable manner. The book addresses current and emerging technologies for wastewater treatment and reuse, discussing their limitations and future potential. It examines the transformation of anthropogenic waste into value-added products, emphasizing the critical need to handle waste more sustainably to mitigate hazards to humans, animals, and the environment.It delves into organic waste and fourth-generation biomass for targeted goods and provides insights into achieving full decarbonization by balancing residual emissions, including the carbon footprint of chemical use and transportation. The book covers technologies relevant to wastewater from municipal and industrial sources, as well as drinking water, and details physical, chemical, and thermal processes, making it indispensable for researchers in the field. - Describes the most recent, advanced industrial wastewater treatment technologies - Provides a comparative analysis of available wastewater treatment technologies - Highlights and examines the development of future technologies for removing anthropogenic contaminants from wastewater
