Biografisk notat
Lawrence K. Wang, Yung-Tse Hung, Howard H. Lo, Constantine Yapijakis"New subjects are presented in detail for the first time in any industrial waste treatment book. … The team of contributors is of high scientific level and demonstrates that special efforts were made to invite experts to contribute chapters in their own areas of expertise. … The book is to be used as a reference … for professors, students, and researchers … . The extensive bibliographies … should be invaluable to managers and researchers who need to improve on a specific industrial waste treatment practice."
- Environmental Engineering and Management Journal, March 2005, Vol. 4, No. 1
"Each chapter provides a thorough and comprehensive review of the waste management issue at hand. … Chapters are well-written and flow well. The extensive bibliographies for each industrial waste treatment practice should be valuable to university students, environmental managers, and scientists. … [T]he editors did a fine job in compiling and reviewing a wide range of papers."
- Journal of Environmental Quality, March/April 2005
"An excellent resource for environmental managers, this edition, expanded to 32 chapters from the original edition, describes methodologies for the treatment of wastes … This handbook is intended both as a reference book for environmental professionals and as a college text that allows instructors to choose the specific industrial waste categories they may want to cover; it will also be valuable in engineers' or scientists' personal libraries. Summing Up: Highly recommended."
