Pollution and its effects on the environment have emerged as critical areas of research within the past 30 years. The Handbook of Environmental Engineeringis a collection of methodologies that study the effects of pollution and waste in their three basic forms: gas, solid, and liquid. In Volume 8, Biological Treatment Processes, tried-and-true solutions comprise a "methodology of pollution control." The distinguished panel of authors contribute detailed chapters, which include topics ranging from treatment by land application, activated sludge processes, and submerged aeration to trickling filters, lagoons, rotating biological contactors, sequencing batch reactors, digestions, and composting. Volume 8 and its sister book - Volume 9: Advanced Biological Treatment Processes – are designed as both basic biological waste treatment textbooks and reference books for advanced undergraduate and graduate students – as well as fordesigners of waste treatment systems, scientists, and researchers. Coverage of major biological waste treatment processes Emphasis on detailed process descriptions, theories, design criteria, design examples, environmental impacts, cost estimations, and practical applications Reference of practical use to engineers, educators, operators, and researchers INDICE: From the contents 1.
