Download or read book Wastewater Resource Recovery and Biological Methods written by Pardeep Singh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is unique in highlighting the issue of wastewater as one of the important environmental issues. The uniqueness also lies in exploring the concepts of converting waste into resources in the form of bioenergy, biofertilizers through various biological methods. Given the international scenario, the chapters of this book are designed to include both anaerobic and aerobic methods of resource recovery from the industrial wastewater. The book is a step toward design with nature and the concept of green chemistry. Waste menace is one of the most voiced and unsolved problems in the entire world. The whole world is facing the threat of water pollution, soil pollution/ land pollution, odour pollution from the growing waste. Though we find many missions and programs at international, national, and regional level to solve the waste associated issues, this is mostly in context with the solid fraction of the waste. Very little is being done to manage the liquid part of the waste or what we call the wastewater. The conversion of wastewater has the potential to be converted to energy in the form bioenergy, bio-fertilizers, electricity, nutrient recovery, etc. The use of sludge as biofertilizers solves the problem of sludge management on the one hand and production of organic crops on the other. The biological treatment methods like sludge treatment gives the farmers the source of biofertilizers and organic manure for the plants. In the present scenario, energy crisis is also one of the issues that we are facing particularly in context with the thermal power plants which are environmentally highly polluting. Through various techniques like microbial fuel cells or biohydrogen, we get a source of cleaner energy. So, through this book, we try to produce the content and information to give the audience an understanding of the waste water as one of the environmental and health issues and mitigation strategies. The book gives a sufficient understanding of how waste can be turned into a resource.

Download or read book Ecological Assessment of Wastewater Treatment Technologies written by Smriti Tripathi and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is 'elixir of life' and one of the most integral components of the environment. However, in recent years the quality of natural water has been altered seriously, mainly due to human interferences in natural processes. Recycling and reuse of wastewater is promising technique to reduce the pollution load on surface water bodies. Phytoremediation is a cost effective, environment friendly, aesthetically pleasing and most suitable approach for the appropriate treatment of wastewater. This book demonstrated a reduction in heavy metals and organic contents by using this technique with some modifications, to below toxic levels. Including Ozonation technique with this enhances the treatment capacity of existing sewage treatment plant due to its strong oxidant nature. On the basis of present findings and experimental designing it is recommended that addition of phytoremediation and ozonation techniques with the existing Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) shall further improve the efficiency of STPs and solve the problems of wastewater treatment.

Download or read book Wastewater Treatment and Water Quality Assessment Through Electrochemical Approaches written by Zhaoyang Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The protection of water resources is becoming one of the most critical issues afflicting people globally. Novel, robust, efficient, and environmentally compatible technologies for the treatment of wastewater and the analysis of water quality are urgently required. Fortunately, with the development of electrochemistry and new materials, promising and environmentally benign approaches for the treatment of wastewater and the assessment of water quality are currently available. An advanced and efficient approach known as EDI was developed for the continuous separation and recovery of Cr(III) and Cr(VI). Firstly, we developed a new analytical method, which combines UV-Visible spectroscopy and Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), for the determination of the concentrations of both Cr(VI) and Cr(III) in a mixed solution, and for monitoring the EDI process. Secondly, we determined the limiting current and systematically studied the effects of different applied currents on the removal of Cr(VI) as well as on the recovery of Cr(III) and Cr(VI). Thirdly, the influence of the level of saturation of the ion- exchange resins was assessed in terms of both removal efficiency and energy consumption. The use of fresh ion-exchange resins for the EDI process were initially found to be very effective for the removal of both Cr(VI) and Cr(III). Both resins became increasingly saturated with each subsequent cycle, resulting in a gradual lowering of the cell voltage. The continuous and highly efficacious removal of highly toxic Cr(VI) (> 99%), and low energy consumption make the EDI process attractive for the separation and recovery of Cr(VI) and Cr(III).
