New Trends in Removal of Heavy Metals from Industrial Wastewater

New Trends in Removal of Heavy Metals from Industrial Wastewater covers the applicable technologies related to removal of heavy metals from wastewater and the new emerging trends in the field, both at laboratory and industrial scale. New technologies environmentally friendly and respecting the principles of sustainable development are discussed. The book relates to each of the main factors contributing to heavy metal removal from wastewater, namely, methods and procedures, materials (especially low-cost materials originated from industrial and agricultural waste), management of wastewater containing heavy metals and wastewater valorisation. Chapters related to recycling, environmental impact, and wastewater policies post heavy metal removal are also included. New Trends in Removal of Heavy Metals from Industrial Wastewater is an advanced and updated vision of the existing heavy metal removal technologies with their limitations and challenges and their potential application to remove heavy metals / environmental pollutants through the advancements in bioremediation. It also introduces the new trends and advances in environmental bioremediation with thorough discussions of the recent developments in this field by an application of chemical /biochemical and environmental biotechnology. Outlines the fate and occurrence of heavy metals in Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) and potential approaches for their removalDescribes the techniques currently available for removing heavy metals from wastewaterDescribes and discusses the emerging technologies in heavy metal removalCovers extensively biological treatments to remove heavy metalsIncludes the valorisation of heavy metal containing wastewater
