Books in the Advances in Industrial and Hazardous Wastes Treatment series

Covers environmental pollution sources, waste characteristics, control technologies, management strategies, facility innovations, process alternatives, costs, case histories, and effluent standards in industry. This volume delineates methods, technologies, and the regional and global effects of important pollution control practices.

Discusses the importance and contamination of metals such as lead, chromium, cadmium, zinc, copper, nickel, iron, and mercury. This book covers important research of metals in the environment, the processes and mechanisms for metals control and removal, and heavy metal removal by expopolysaccharide-producing cyanobacteria.

Most industrial and hazardous waste management resources cover the major industries and provide conventional in-plant pollution control strategies. This book contains the necessary technical information on hazardous industrial waste treatment. It provides coverage of treatment and management technologies in wide-ranging industries.

Provides coverage of environmental pollution sources, waste characteristics, control technologies, management strategies, facility innovations, process alternatives, costs, case histories, effluent standards and future trends in the process industries.

This volume provides in-depth coverage of environmental pollution sources, waste characteristics, control technologies, management strategies, facility innovations, process alternatives, costs, case histories, effluent standards, and future trends in waste treatment processes.

Delineating methods, technologies, and the regional and global effects of important pollution control practices, this book covers environmental pollution sources, waste characteristics, control technologies, management strategies, facility innovations, process alternatives, costs, case histories and effluent standards.

Outlines the fundamentals and of waste treatment in various process industries, such as pharmaceuticals, textiles, petroleum, soap, detergent, phosphate, paper, pulp, pesticides, rubber, and power. This book provides information that is directly applicable to daily waste management problems throughout the industry.

Presenting practicable strategies modeled from ultramodern technologies, this book offers 32 chapters of industry- and waste-specific analysis and treatment methods for industrial and hazardous waste materials ranging from explosive wastes to landfill leachate to wastes produced by the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Outlines the fundamentals and developments in hazardous waste treatment in various process industries, such as metal finishing, photographic processing, wood treatment, and explosives. This book provides information that is applicable to the waste management problems in the industry.

Many standard industrial waste treatment texts sufficiently address a few major technologies for conventional in-plant environmental control strategies in the food industry. But none explore the complete range of technologies with a focus on new developments in innovative and alternative technology, design criteria, effluent standards, managerial decision methodology, and regional and global environmental conservation specific to the food industry. Until now. Waste Treatment in the Food Processing Industry provides in-depth coverage of environmental pollution sources, waste characteristics, control technologies, management strategies, facility innovations, process alternatives, costs, case histories, effluent standards, and future trends. It delineates methodologies, technologies, and the regional and global effects of important pollution control practices. The book highlights major food processing plants or installations that have significant effects on the environment. Since the areas of food industry waste treatment are broad, no one can claim to be an expert in all of them. Reflecting this, the editors recruited collective contributions from specialists in their respective topics, rather than relying on a single author''s expertise. The topics covered include dairies, seafood processing plants, olive oil manufacturing factories, potato processing plants, soft drink production plants, bakeries, and various other food processing facilities. Professors, students, and researchers in the environmental, civil, chemical, sanitary, mechanical, and public health engineering and science fields will find valuable educational materials in this book. The extensive bibliographies for each type of food waste treatment or practice will be invaluable to environmental managers, or researchers who need to trace, follow, duplicate, or improve on a specific food waste treatment practice. Comprehensive in scope, the book provides solutions that are directly applicable
