Long description:

Offering broad coverage of advanced principals and applications, Control of Heavy Metals in the Environment series provides chemical and environmental engineers with the most complete resource available on the treatment 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 covers metal oxide nanoparticle pollution and nanotechnology applications for remediation. 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.


• Explores the newest methods of clean production and waste minimization.


• Covers topics related to environmental geochemistry.


• Includes numerous figures, tables, examples, and case histories.
