Contaminated Landby Ted Halstead
Spon Press 1998; US$ 360.00Contaminated land can be reclaimed safely if the proposed end-use of the land is appropriate and based on thorough site investigation. This book examines the subject, reviewing current methods and strategies for safe, economical reclamation. more...
Radioactive Wasteby Frans Berkhout
Routledge 1991; US$ 74.00This analysis of nuclear strategy, the politics of nuclear power and the shifting emphasis of government regulation redefines the issue of radwaste management and sets it at the centre of the current debate about the environment. more...
Nitrification and Denitrification in the Activated Sludge Processby Michael H. Gerardi
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 74.95Nitrification and Denitrification in the Activated Sludge Process, the first in a series on the microbiology of wastewater treatment, comprises the critical topics of cost-effective operation, permit compliance, process control, and troubleshooting in wastewater treatment plants. Avoiding the technical jargon, chemical equations, and kinetics that typically accompany such texts, Nitrification and Denitrification in the Activated Sludge Process directly addresses plant operators and technicians, providing necessary information for understanding the microbiology and biological conditions that occur in the treatment process. Of special interest to wastewater treatment plant operators are the bacteria that degrade nitrogenous wastes–the nitrifying... more...
Partition and Adsorption of Organic Contaminants in Environmental Systemsby Cary T. Chiou
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 166.00Given the presence of a wide variety of contaminants in the environment, it is important to understand what drives a contaminant from one medium to another, as well as the manner and extent to which a contaminant associates with the different media or phases within a local environmental system. Partition and Adsorption of Organic Contaminants in Environmental Systems forms a comprehensive resource on the behavioral characteristics of contaminants so that appropriate strategies can be adopted to either prevent or minimize their adverse impacts on human welfare and natural resources. Cary Chiou’s far-reaching text depicts the processes by which nonionic organic contaminants are sorbed to natural biotic and abiotic substances. This book... more...
The Microbiology of Anaerobic Digestersby Michael H. Gerardi
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 74.95Anaerobic digestion is a biochemical degradation process that converts complex organic material, such as animal manure, into methane and other byproducts. Part of the author's Wastewater Microbiology series, Microbiology of Anareboic Digesters eschews technical jargon to deliver a practical, how-to guide for wastewater plant operators. more...
Understanding Active Noise Cancellationby Colin H. Hansen
Spon Press 2001; US$ 74.95Provides a concise introduction to the fundamentals and applications of active control of vibration and sound for the non-expert. It is also a useful quick reference for the specialist engineer. more...
Settleability Problems and Loss of Solids in the Activated Sludge Processby Michael H. Gerardi
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 77.95The activated sludge process is the most versatile, commonly used wastewater treatment system in North America; however, many activated sludge processes frequently experience operational problems related to poor compaction or settleability of secondary solids and loss of secondary solids from the clarifier. Eschewing the technical jargon and copious chemical equations found in the majority of wastewater studies, Settleability Problems and Loss of Solids in the Activated Sludge Process speaks directly to plant operators, showing them how to identify and solve common problems and achieve maximum efficiency. Michael H. Gerardi’s hands-on guide addresses the most common plant operational problems, such as increased costs, loss of treatment... more...
