Offering broad coverage of advanced principals and applications, Control of Heavy Metals in the Environment mini series provides chemical and environmental engineers with the most complete resource available on the remediation of heavy metal contaminants with an emphasis on advanced and alternative approaches. It investigates a variety of environmental pollution sources and waste characteristics that require a multitude of remediation methods. It then details the latest in clean-tech advances including fungal bioprocesses, and addresses recycling and disposal techniques, as well as metals pollution from the transportation industry. The authors delve into costs and effluent standards and offer several illustrative case histories to illustrate the regional and global effects of key pollution control practices.
Features:
- Provides technical information for industrial and hazardous waste treatment.
- Discusses the control, treatment, and management of metal emissions from motor vehicles.
- Explores the newest methods of clean production and waste minimization.
- Includes numerous figures, tables, examples, and case histories.
