Resource Recovery in Industrial Waste Waters provides a holistic approach for discovering and harnessing valuable resources from industrial wastewaters, the cutting-edge technologies required, and a discussion on the new findings. In three volumes, the books stress the importance of contaminated waters' remediation, including surface waters, municipal or industrial wastewaters and treating these waters as a new source of nutrients, minerals and energy. It introduces polluted waters as new and sustainable sources, rather than seeing wastewaters as only a source of hazardous organic and inorganic matters.

Sections discuss wastewater treatment and recovery and contribute to generate a sustainable approach of wastewater by providing the main advantages and disadvantages of both wastewater/polluted water treatment and recovery.

Reviews the current status of industrial wastewater treatment methods Discusses the growing need of resource recovery from industrial wastewater, along with the challenges Describes the importance of water reuse for combating water scarcity by describing current techniques and challenges Evaluates the potential of the current market and status towards industrial wastewater resource recovery Considers cutting-edge technologies for resource recovery Contains comprehensive discussions on possibility of almost all recoverable resources from industrial wastewater

Resource Recovery in Drinking Water Treatment concentrates on techniques and methods for water purification. The book develops a new approach-resource recovery-toward drinking water, including the role of methods (adsorption, membrane, ion - exchange, biosorption, coagulation, etc.) and nanocomposites (such as biochar, sludge-based composites, chitosan, polymer, magnetic particles, etc.) in water resource recovery. It provides an in-depth overview on emerging water treatment techniques and the resource recovery of materials during the treatment process. Finally, the book aims to introduce polluted waters as new and sustainable sources rather than seeing wastewaters only a source of hazardous organic and inorganic matters.

This book is part of a three-volume set that stresses the importance of contaminated water remediation, including surface waters, municipal or industrial wastewaters, and waters as a new source of nutrients, minerals and energy.

Presents novel approaches to recover materials from water during treatment Discusses fundamentals and principals of water treatment to figure out current status and need for new development Includes applications of various composites and particles in water treatment and water recovery
