Book Description

Sludge Treatment and Disposal is the sixth volume in the series Biological Wastewater Treatment. The book covers in a clear and informative way the sludge characteristics, production, treatment (thickening, dewatering, stabilisation, pathogens removal) and disposal (land application for agricultural purposes, sanitary landfills, landfarming and other methods). Environmental and public health issues are also fully described. About the series: The series is based on a highly acclaimed set of best selling textbooks. This international version is comprised by six textbooks giving a state-of-the-art presentation of the science and technology of biological wastewater treatment. Other titles in the series are: Volume 1: Waste Stabilisation Ponds; Volume 2: Basic Principles of Wastewater Treatment; Volume 3: Waste Stabilization Ponds; Volume 4: Anaerobic Reactors; Volume 5: Activated Sludge and Aerobic Biofilm Reactors

Book Description

Modern techniques for dealing with sewage sludge have developed considerably, but final disposal of sludge remains problematical. Successful implementation of land application, incineration and landfilling schemes has gone hand-in-hand with greater public awareness of the issue and more stringent environmental quality requirements. In many locations site-specific considerations have further complicated the problem. Add to this increasing sludge production after the introduction of new wastewater treatment plant or upgrading of existing facilities, and the need for further improvements in sludge management is clear. Among the 35 papers selected from the contributions of some of the world's leading experts in sludge management are papers on: regulation and management; production and treatment; agricultural use; and thermal and other processes. They provide an authoritative insight into recent practical experiences and technological development that will be of immense assistance both to researchers and to those charged with developing best practice in sludge management.

Book Description

Food Bioconversion, Volume Two in the Handbook of Food Bioengineering series is an interdisciplinary resource of fundamental information on waste recovery and biomaterials under certain environmental conditions. The book provides information on how living organisms can be used to transform waste into compounds that can be used in food, and how specialized living cells in plants, animals and water can convert the most polluting agents into useful non-toxic products in a sustainable way. This great reference on the bioconversion of industrial waste is ideal in a time when food resources are limited and entire communities starve. - Presents extraction techniques of biological properties to enhance food's functionality, i.e. functional foods or nutraceuticals - Provides detailed information on waste material recovery issues - Compares different techniques to help advance research and develop new applications - Includes research solutions of different biological treatments to produce foods with antibiotic properties, i.e. probiotics - Explores how bioconversion technologies are essential for research outcomes to increase high quality food production
