Pharmaceutical wastewater is now a major concern due to the improper legislation around the globe and the poor implementation of existing laws. This book covers the various aspects of pharmaceutical sources, treatment technologies, and the harmful effect on the natural environment. The book will also highlight the concept of the 3Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) as applied to the treatment and resource recovery systems for pharmaceutical treatment. The different innovative technologies will deal with reducing the energy requirements, the physical space requirements and impacts of treatment plants . Some case studies are included in order to fully understand the practical aspects of the treatment and modelling.

This volume discusses contemporary techniques, technologies, and solutions for industrial wastewater remediation and treatment. It covers biological, chemical, and physical aspects of wastewater treatment, with a background on the generation of wastewater associated with different industries, as well as a comparison of traditional treatment technologies with new advancements. The authors also describe the reuse and recovery of nutrients and precious metals from wastewater, and how such sustainable strategies can be incorporated into industrial wastewater planning and legislation. The book also contains practical and theoretical aspects of various industries and their wastewater management practices in a changing climate, with an emphasis on recent research examining the environmental impact of wastewater. The work will be of interest to students, teachers, and researchers studying wastewater pollution and remediation, wastewater management-based NGOs, and people involved in the planning and legislation of industrial operations.

This book is devoted to water treatment and it outlines the historical context and regulatory framework surrounding drinking water chlorination, addressing disinfection by-products (DBPs) formation, associated challenges and implications on water quality and human health. In this book, readers will find an overview of various disinfection processes and the latest strategies in DBPs detection and remediation. Divided into 14 chapters, the book begins by offering a background analysis of water disinfection and comparing different disinfection processes and management strategies to mitigate the formation of DBPs. Particular attention is given to both conventional and non-conventional methods used to treat potable water, comparing their effectiveness and potential risks. In subsequent chapters, expert contributors outline the route of exposure and mechanism of action of DBPs, and the toxicological impact of DBPs on human health, providing essential insights for effective risk management strategies. This book also showcases the latest advancements in chlorine applications for water quality control and explores innovative physicochemical and nanotechnology-based approaches to remove DBPs and minimize their formation. Readers will also find in this book a case study of the GIS-based trends analysis of THMs compounds in Indian drinking water supplies. Given its breadth, this book is a valuable resource for researchers, academics, professionals, and policymakers working in environmental sciences, public health and water management, and interested in safer and sustainable drinking water practices.

This book is highly beneficial for a better understanding of the techniques involved in sewage treatment plants and the recovery of components from the contaminated matrix for valuable applications. The generation of a huge amount of sewage and sewage in cities and sub-cities is a big environmental crisis. Discharge of untreated or partially treated sewage imposes severe environmental pollution and health hazards. Various types of sewage treatment methods are used in different cities based on the current requirements. There are various norms, laws, and policies for the safe disposal of sludge and the discharge of sewage. In this proposed book, the generation of various sewage and sludge will be discussed in detail. Chemical analysis of sewage and sludge has been included in this proposed book. The impact of sewage and sludge on water resources, soil crops, and human health is also included in this proposed book. Various traditional and advanced treatment technologies of sewage treatment will be part of the proposed book. Reuse and recovery of nutrients and metals are also incorporated in this proposed book. One proposed chapter is dedicated to legislation in sewage discharge, and sludge disposal is also included in this proposed book. So, in this proposed book, we tried to incorporate a holistic view related to environmental issues of sewage and sludge and their management strategies. This not only leads to enhancement of valuable resources but also reduces the problem of environmental contamination. The conclusive reports presented in the present book will also help different researchers and government authorities to implement the best possible methods in the treatment of sewage and sludge in different industries.
