Handbook of Pollution Control and Waste Minimization

The most significant issues facing mankind today are related to the quality of our environment. Past decisions did not always consider environmental factors as critical elements. However, current decisions made daily should reflect the importance of the environment. All environment-related issues are multidisciplinary, ranging from science and engineering to social, economic, and regulatory iss…

Geoenvironmental engineering: contaminated soils, pollutant fate and mitigation

The treatment of contaminated land to eliminate or reduce the presence of pollutants in the contaminated site has received (and will continue to receive) considerable attention from the practicing profession. Extensive research and development are still underway in respect to the delivery of more effective (and economic) means for site decontamination. The ongoing results can be seen in the…

Underground Engineering for Sustainable Urban Development

Underground infrastructure presents unique challenges for engineers because usable underground space is limited in its extent and is not easily observed or accessible. The safety, health, and welfare of the public at large are among the civil engineer’s primary concerns while designing, constructing, maintaining, and operating physical infrastructure, including underground infrastructure. Und…

The Auxiliary Substrate Concept: From simple considerations to heuristically …

Microorganisms are used in biotechnology. They are either (i) aim and purpose of a process, e.g. with the production of single cell proteins, or (ii) mean to an end insofar as they serve as a catalyst or ‘‘factory’’ for syntheses (e.g. of products of primary and secondary metabolism, of enzymes and antibiotics) or for the degradation and detoxification of harmful organics and inorga…

Handbook of Water and Wastewater Treatment Technologies

This volume covers the technologies that are applied to the treatment and purification of water. Those who are generally familiar with this field will immediately embrace the subject as a treatise on solid-liquid separations. However, the subject is much broader, in that the technologies discussed are not just restricted to pollution control hardware that rely only upon physical methods of …

Handbook of Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operations

In Handbook of Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operations , the intent of the author is twofold. The Þrst intent is to consolidate the information and experience in waterworks and wastewater treatment plant operations that have evolved as a result of technological advances in the Þeld, and as a result of the concepts and policies promulgated by the environmental laws and the subsequent g…

Basic Environmental Engineering

Environmental engineering is one of the most popular, complex and fast growing disciplines in engineering. The scope of environment includes issues from public health, aesthetics, and impact of all development activities, pollution control legislation, standards, regulations, guidelines and their enforcement. Traditionally the application of engineering principles for the protection and enh…
