Development of a sustainable wastewater treatment scheme to recycle sewagenutrients and water in tilapia aquaculture was the main objective of thisPhD research. Use of an integrated UASB-duckweed ponds system for domesticwastewater treatment linked to tilapia aquaculture was investigated. Thetreatment system was efficient in organic matter removal during the entire...

The use of urban wastewater in agriculture is receiving renewed attention, with the increasing scarcity of fresh water resources in many arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Wastewater is a low-cost alternative to conventional irrigation water, although it may carry health and environmental risks. This book critically reviews experience worldwide of these issues. Emphasis is placed on untreated wastewater use by means of field-based case studies from Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. It brings together a range of perspectives including economic, health, agronomic, environmental, institutional, and policy dimensions

Esta obra presenta numerosas técnicas experimentales aplicadas en la depuración de las aguas residuales. Los capítulos se han desarrollado con un enfoque fundamentalmente didáctico, válido para diferentes materias prácticas de las Licenciaturas en Ciencias Ambientales, Química, etc. y de las Ingenierías Química, Industrial, Obras Públicas, etc. Además, dada la profundidad con que se abordan cada uno de los temas, este libro puede resultar de gran ayuda a todos aquellos alumnos de tercer ciclo, investigadores y profesionales que deseen conocer diferentes aspectos experimentales de los procesos de depuración de aguas residuales.

The suitability of Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) for pollutant degradation was recognised in the early 1970s and much research and development work has been undertaken to commercialise some of these processes.
AOPs have shown great potential in treating pollutants at both low and high concentrations and have found applications as diverse as ground water treatment, municipal wastewater sludge destruction and VOCs control

This comprehensive text provides the reader with both a detailed reference and a unified course on wastewater treatment. Aimed at scientists and engineers, it deals with the environmental and biological aspects of wastewater treatment and sludge disposal. The book starts by examining the nature of wastewaters and how they are oxidized in the natural environment. An introductory chapter deals with wastewater treatment systems and examines how natural principles have been harnessed by man to treat his own waste in specialist reactors. The role of organisms is considered by looking at kinetics, metabolism and the different types of micro-organisms involved. All the major biological process groups are examined in detail, in highly referenced chapters; they include fixed film reactors, activated sludge, stabilization ponds, anaerobic systems and vegetative processes. Sludge treatment and disposal is examined with particular reference to the environmental problems associated with the various disposal routes. A comprehensive chapter on public health looks at the important waterborne organisms associated with disease, as well as removal processes within treatment systems. Biotechnology has had an enormous impact on wastewater treatment at every level, and this is explored in terms of resource reuse, biological conversion processes and environmental protection. Finally, there is a short concluding chapter that looks at the sustainability of waste water treatment. The text is fully illustrated and supported by over 3000 references
