Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of semi-volatile organic compounds that are formed during the incomplete burning of gas, coal, oil, wood, garbage, or other organic substances. PAHs are a concern because a number of them have been identified as genotoxic and/or carcinogenic. They pose a threat to ecological systems and can cause health problems. A significant source of PAHs is the effluent of wastewater treatment plants. This book explores the occurrence and the treatability of PAHs in wastewater treatment.

A good fundamental understanding of membranes and membrane systems and of biological systems is crucial in properly addressing the evaluation, selection, design, and operation of membrane bioreactors. This book covers nearly all the theoretical and practical aspects of membrane bioreactor technology with up-to-date information. By understanding the ties between theories and practices, readers will not only understand what can be accomplished with current technology, but why this occurs, and how theoretical and practical limits may be overcome in the future.

This book explores the current research on removal of HABs and toxins from drinking water, and provides the necessary tools so that treatment plant operators, engineers, and water managers can understand the vulnerability of drinking water treatment plants to HABs and develop treatment processes to minimize their impact.

Emerging nanotechnological innovations have great potential for wastewater remediation processes. Applications that use smart nanomaterials of inorganic and organic origin improve treatment efficiency and lower energy requirements. This book describes the synthesis, fabrication, and application of advanced nanomaterials in water treatment proces
