Book Review: Advanced Technologies for Solid, Liquid, and Gas Waste Treatment

Abstract

There is an urgent need to develop effective ways to efficiently recycle the world's limited resources in the solid, liquid and gaseous phases to achieve sustainability. This could be achieved in accordance with allowable effluent standards, economic considerations and long service life through either single units or hybrid (integrated) units. In this regard, this book is a valuable resource for both academic and industrial researchers, bringing together the latest developments in compost, advanced oxidation, reactive membrane, adsorptive, electrocoagulative, and pyrolytic processes for the treatment of solid wastes, wastewater, and toxic gases. The strengths and weaknesses of the technologies are compared throughout the 15 chapters with extensive tabulated data from the literature and well-illustrated figures. Recommendations for the future and challenges are provided at the end of each section.
