The world is facing a drinking water crisis. Besides continuous
population growth, uneven distribution of water resources and periodic
droughts have forced scientists to search for new and effective water
treatment, remediation and recycling technologies. Therefore, there is
a great need for the development of suitable, inexpensive and rapid
wastewater treatment and reuse or conservation methods. This title
discusses different types of wastewater treatment, remediation and
recycling techniques, like adsorption, membrane filtration and reverse
osmosis. It also provides guidance for the selection of the
appropriate technologies or their combinations for specific
applications so that one can select the exact and accurate technology
without any problem. The book comprises detailed discussion on the
application of various technologies for water treatment, remediation
and recycling technologies and provides an update on the development
in water treatment, detailed analysis of their features and economic
analysis, bridging the current existing information gap. Each
chapter is also documented by references and updated citations.
