Waste Treatment in the Biotechnology, Agricultural and Food Industries: Volume 2

The past over one-half century has seen the emergence of a growing desire
worldwide to take positive actions to restore and protect the environment from the
degrading effects of all forms of pollution: air, noise, solid waste, and water. The
principle intention of the Handbook of Environmental Engineering (HEE) series is
to help readers formulate answers to the fundamental questions facing pollution in
the modern era, mainly, how serious is pollution and is the technology needed to
abate it not only available, but feasible. Cutting-edge and highly practical, HEE
offers educators, students, and engineers a strong grounding in the principles of
Environmental Engineering, as well as providing effective methods for developing
optimal abatement technologies at costs that are fully justified by the degree of
abatement achieved. With an emphasis on using the Best Available Technologies,
the authors of these volumes present the necessary engineering protocols derived
from the fundamental principles of chemistry, physics, and mathematics, making
these volumes a must have for environmental pollution researchers.
