Description
Industrial Water Pollution Control has undergone many changes since the publication of the 2nd edition. Regulations have become more stringent, and the focus has shifted to consideration of aquatic toxicity, priority pollutants, and volatile emissions from wastewater treatment plants. In addition, in-plant controls and waste minimization play a key role in any industrial water pollution control program. This book reviews the basic theory and then stresses the application of the theory to the solution of real world industrial wastewater treatment. Alternative technologies are discussed where applicable. In addition to covering the basic principles of physical, chemical, and biological treatment, newer technologies applicable to specific water quality parameters are also presented. Specific examples and case histories from a variety of industries including pulp and paper, chemical and pharmaceutical, textile, food and kindred products, and metal finishing are presented. To aid in the understanding of the analysis, design, and operation of industrial wastewater treatment facilities, more than 320 figures and 130 tables are presented. In order to enhance the under-standing of the material contained in this textbook, 65 detailed design examples are included.
