Hazardous Pollutants in Biological Treatment Systems
IWA Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-78040-770-8 (ISBN)
Currently, in commercial and industrial products and processes, thousands of chemicals are used that reach water. Many of those chemicals are carcinogens, mutagens, endocrine disruptors and toxicants. Therefore, water containing hazardous pollutants should be treated before discharged to the environment or consumed by humans.
This book first addresses the characteristics, occurrence and origin of hazardous organic and inorganic pollutants. Then, it concentrates on the fate and effects of these pollutants in biological wastewater and drinking water treatment units. It also provides details about analysis of hazardous pollutants, experimental methodologies, computational tools used to assist experiments, evaluation of experimental data and examination of microbial ecology by molecular microbiology and genetic tools.
Hazardous Pollutants in Biological Treatment Systems is an essential resource to the researcher or the practitioner who is already involved with hazardous pollutants and biological processes or intending to do so. The text will also be useful for professionals working in the field of water and wastewater treatment.
A guide to studying the fate and effect of hazardous pollutants in biological treatment systems; Hazardous pollutants in the water environment; Quantification of hazardous pollutants in biological systems; Removal and behaviour of hazardous pollutants in biological treatment systems; Impact of process configuration on removal of hazardous organics; Experimental assessment of the inhibitory effect and biodegradation of hazardous pollutants; Removal of hazardous pollutants in full-scale wastewater treatment plants; Integrating microbial and molecular tools to determine the fate and impact of hazardous pollutants; Biological removal of hazardous pollutants in drinking water treatment; Future aspects of hazardous pollutants and their biological removal
