Synopsis

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, Biological Treatment Processes, tried-and-true solutions comprise a “methodology of pollution control”. The distinguished panel of authors contributes 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. Volume 8 and its sister book - Volume 9: Advanced Biological Treatment Processes – are designed as both basic biological waste treatment textbooks and reference books for advanced undergraduate and graduate students – as well as for designers of waste treatment systems, scientists, and researchers. An indispensable addition to the Humana Press series, Volume 8: Biological Treatment Processes provides an illuminating look at water pollution control and the fascinating evolution of bio-environmental engineering.

About this title

Synopsis

The authors of this series have compiled a complete set of environmental engineering textbooks that present the latest theories and principles in a one-stop reference for its readers. The latest updates of the series will become the international authority of the overall field of environmental engineering. The topic chapters contained within this series range from environmental engineering processes, methodologies, technologies, compiled environmental data, theories and principles, case histories, authorships and quoted references as well as numerous other crucial bits of data. These texts present the state-of-the-art environmental engineering technologies in the year 2002 and years leading to it. Special features such as English unit and Metric unit conversion tables are both included for the handbook to remain accepted nationally and internationally. This group of contributors, comprised of environmental engineers, scientists, and mangers has spent a great amount of time to create this handbook series for the sole purpose of academic and technological advancement.
