Air, Gas, and Water Pollution Control Using Industrial and Agricultural Solid Wastes Adsorbents (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Sen, Tushar Kanti

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Present book aims to address various industrial and agricultural solid waste based adsorbents and their applications in the broad field of separation/purification of air, gaseous and water pollutants. The synthesis, characteristics of industrial/agricultural solid waste based adsorbents and their adsorptive effectiveness under various physicochemical process parameters are discussed in this comprehensive guide.

Autorenporträt

Dr Tushar K Sen is a full time Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Curtin University, Perth Australia. Prior to joining Curtin, he worked at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP), Malaysia and also worked with National Institute of Technology, Rourkela India. Dr Sen obtained his B.Sc. (Hons) B.Tech in Chemical Engineering from University of Calcutta, India and Master of Chemical Engineering from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India. He obtained his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay, and Mumbai, India. He has over 25 years of teaching and research experience in Chemical Engineering. Dr Sen is continuously engaged in undergraduate and post-graduate teaching and learning, supervision, research activities of the Department of Chemical Engineering. Dr Sen has an excellent track record in the broad field of water research, wastewater treatment, adsorption at solid/liquid interface, anaerobic digestion and dewatering of wastewater sludge, rheology of colloidal slurry/sludge, colloids in groundwater contamination and in the field of separation processes. He has made significant contributions in the field of adsorption in water treatment, anaerobic digestion process and colloid and interface area. He has edited two research books, one on "physical, chemical and biological treatment processes for water and wastewater" and another on "clay minerals". Dr Sen is an Associate Editor of a scholarOne journal "Adsorption Sci. & Technology. He has developed many novel cost effective agricultural solid wastes based adsorbents and biomass based activated carbon, magnetic nanocomposites and their effective utilization in industrial wastewater treatment. Further, Dr Sen and his research group has also developed a novel sludge pre-treatment method which is a combination of microwave and ultra-sonication. Compared to all other pre-treatment methods studied (ultra sonication, microwave), this novel method has given the most promising results in terms of methane production, solids reduction and improved dewaterability. Currently Dr Sen and his research group is working on the rheological behaviours of wastewater treatment plant sludge and its implication on wastewater treatment process parameters optimization including conditioning polymer dose optimization. He has published over 145 research papers including book and book-chapters. Dr Sen has guided 8 Ph.Ds. and 1 M.Phil. and many Master by course work students. Currently, 5 Ph.D. students and many post-graduate /undergraduate students are working under him. He is a recipient of the HORN Scholarship-2014, 2012 Japan, "Ganga Ram Memorial Prize (Gold Medal)-2011, 2009" instituted by Institution of Engineers (India), "Certificate of Merit" in 2008 by the Institution of Engineers (India), "Shah-Schulman award, instituted by IIChE, India, and an Australian Academy of Science scientific visit Award-2011 for his outstanding contribution in research. He is also recipient of "University Gold Medal" from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India, "Visiting Fellowship" from ANU, Australia, "Visiting Professorship at University of Hyogo, Himeji, Japan, Senior Research Fellowship" from MHRD, New Delhi, India, Travel award from AICTE, New Delhi respectively. He is also associate with many professional activities such as a regular reviewer of many international journals, journal editorial board members, session chair of international conferences and also life membership of many professional bodies including the I.Chem.E (U.K.), Adsorption Society, Australian Association of Engineering Education, Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers, Institution of Engineers (India), Indian Institute of Public Health Engineers, Computer Society of India, Indian Institute of Metals etc. Dr Sen gave many invited talks on adsorption, water and wastewater treatment processes in many Universities and in international conference platforms.
