Sustainable Water Technologies: Green Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

Editat de Daniel H. Chen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 sep 2016
Development of advanced technologies is a critical component in overcoming the looming water crisis. Stressing emerging technologies and strategies that facilitate water sustainability for future generations, the second volume in the two-volume set Sustainable Water Management and Technologies provides current and forthcoming technologies research, development, and applications to help ensure availability of water for all. The book emphasizes emerging nanotechnology, biotechnology, and information technology applications as well as sustainable processes and products to protect the environment and human health, save water and energy, and minimize material use. It also discusses such topics as groundwater transport, protection, and remediation, industrial and wastewater treatment, reuse, and disposal, membrane technology for water purification and desalination, treatment and disposal in unconventional oil and gas development, biodegradation, and bioremediation for soil and water.

  • Stresses emerging technologies and strategies that facilitate water sustainability.
  • Covers a wide array of topics including drinking water, wastewater, and groundwater treatment, protection, and remediation.
  • Discusses oil and gas drilling impacts and pollution prevention, membrane technology for water desalination and purification, biodegradation, and bioremediation for soil and water.
  • Details emerging nanotechnology, biotechnology, and information technology applications, as well as sustainable processes and products.

Recenzii

"A very well written and arranged, easy to read reference book by notable experts in the subject of water management and technology for sustainability."
— Dickson Ozokwelu, US Department of Energy, Bowie, Washington, D.C., USA
"The two-volume set Sustainable Water Management and Technologies, edited and compiled by Daniel Chen, covers a broad spectrum of current-day issues and challenges in water resource management and stewardship arising from increased demand for energy, food, and water, and the rapid expansion of new technologies for energy production via Shale gas and unconventional hydrocarbons. Topics include current best practices for water purification and management, plus emerging developments in nano and biotechnology, as well as advanced separations to address future needs. It is what a handbook should be, a go-to reference set to provide background and grounding for a highly important area of science and technology."
— Joseph B. Powell, Shell, Houston, Texas, USA
