Heavy Metals in the Environment (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Wang, Lawrence K.; Shammas, Nazih K.; Hung, Yung-Tse; Chen, Jiaping Paul

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Offering broad coverage of basic and advanced principals and applications, this volume provides chemical and environmental engineers with the most complete resource available on remediation of heavy metal contaminants with an emphasis on innovative 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 covering both management strategies and process alternatives. The authors delve into costs, effluent standards, and offer up several illustrative case histories to illustrate the regional and global effects of key pollution control practices.
