Electrocoagulation Based Treatment of Water and Wastewater: Overview and Applications is a concise presentation of different real-life applications on the electrocoagulation treatment process involved in the removal of harmful contaminants from both drinking and industrial wastewater. Chapters focus on the global scenario of water purification, its types, and characteristics, along with different water treatment processes, including the electrocoagulation technique. The book explains both the foundational information and state-of-the-art topics involved in the treatment of water and wastewater using electrocoagulation and its hybrid techniques in an easy-to-understand manner. The experimental studies conducted across the globe, along with their associated challenges and the possible solutions are explored, starting from the basics and gradually progressing towards the advanced level of the subject. In an organized manner, the book addresses both the standalone and hybrid electrocoagulation-based techniques established for water and wastewater treatment in real life applications. Readers will acquire in-depth knowledge on the field of drinking and industrial wastewater treatment from its basics to the current research accomplishments.

Blue Energy Extraction Using Salinity Gradients: A Critical Evaluation of Case Studies presents a collection of case studies on real-world power plants from around the world that involve sustainable energy extraction via salinity gradients. Using real-world examples, the book explains and demonstrates the fundamentals, technologies, processes, and application of salinity gradient energy extraction methods, while also offering practical solutions. The book provides an overview of the fundamentals and technologies of salinity gradient energy, with each chapter analyzing a real-world salinity gradient power plant from a different region of the world. Examples from developed and developing economies on three continents are covered.For each case study, key aspects of performance are evaluated, and benefits and operational challenges are discussed. Validated mathematical models are also included to improve readers understanding of how to control operating parameters.

Waste-Based Zeolite: Synthesis and Environmental Applications focuses on the use of waste-based materials to fabricate zeolite and its subsequent use in environmental applications. It presents recent progress in zeolite synthesis using wastes products such as fly ash, steel slag, biomass waste, water treatment plant sludge, and municipal waste, among others. It discusses the application of waste-based zeolite for environmental applications such as biodiesel production, as well as considering techniques for recovering spent zeolite. Many industries produce substantial quantities of waste material comprising various hazardous constituents that lead to pollution and threaten the environment.However, such waste can often be a rich source of precursor ingredients for zeolite synthesis, and waste-based zeolites could potentially provide an economically and environmentally viable alternative to commercially available zeolites. This book illuminates this fascinating avenue of research.
