  • Water in Mineral Processingby Jaroslaw Drelich

    SME 2012; US$ 109.00

    One of the major challenges confronting the mining and minerals processing industry in the 21st century will be managing in an environment of ever decreasing water resources. Because most mineral processing requires high water use, there will be even more urgency to develop and employ sustainable technologies that will reduce consumption and the discharge of process-affected water. Water in Mineral Processing provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art examination of this vital issue. A compilation of papers presented at the First International Symposium on Water in Mineral Processing, this book shares the insights of dozens of respected experts from industry and academia. A significant portion of the content is devoted to... more...

  • Biosorbents For Metal Ionsby D.A. John Wase; Chris Forster

    CRC Press 1997; US$ 180.00

    This text focuses on the "green" techniques for removing metal pollutants from soil, air and water. Biological techniques are seen as more environmentally friendly than chemical treatments and can also be cheaper. The book looks at the various more...

  • Integrated Approaches to Water Pollution Problemsby J. Bau; J.D. Henriques; J. de Oliveira Raposo; J.P. Lobo Ferreira

    Spon Press 1991; US$ 330.00

    Papers presented at the International Symposium of Integrated Approaches to Water Pollution Problems [SISIPPA 89], Laboratorio Nacional de Engenharia Civil, Lisbon, Portugal, June 1989. more...

  • Contaminated Ground Water and Sediment: Modeling for Management and Remediation by Calvin C. Chien; Miguel A. Jr. Medina; George F. Pinder; Danny D. Reible; Brent Sleep

    CRC Press 2003; US$ 179.95

    This book is the documented result of a workshop, Modeling and Management of Emerging Environmental Issues, held at Penn State University. This event assembled modeling experts from the U.S. and Canada to discuss modeling technology development and application, in order to promote sound and cost-effective environmental decision-making. This thorough analysis provides environmental engineers, hydrologists, and others with an overview on the state of the art in current practice and identifies emerging research and development trends within modeling technology. Each of the discussions considers not only technical issues, but regulatory and cost factors as well. more...

  • Bioremediation and Natural Attenuationby Pedro J. Alvarez; Walter A. Illman

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2005; US$ 143.00

    A groundbreaking text and professional resource on natural attenuation technology Natural attenuation is rapidly becoming a widely used approach to manage groundwater and soil contamination by hazardous substances in petroleum-product releases and leachate from hazardous waste sites and landfills. This book provides, under one cover, the current methodologies needed by groundwater scientists and engineers in their efforts to evaluate subsurface contamination problems, to estimate risk to human health and ecosystems through mathematical models, and to design and formulate appropriate remediation strategies. Incorporating the authors' extensive backgrounds as educators, researchers, and consultants in environmental biotechnology and hydrogeology,... more...

  • Water Quality Hazards and Dispersion of Pollutantsby Wlodzimierz Czernuszenko; Pawel M. Rowinski

    Springer 2005; US$ 189.00

    Water Quality Hazards and Dispersion of Pollutants contains invited contributions dealing with various aspects of water quality in rivers. Water quality is influenced by many processes, the understanding of which are still far from being conclusive. Therefore, particular emphasis was put on the physics of the processes and the methods of athematical modeling of them. The book provides twelve comprehensive papers dealing with the recognition, description and modeling of physical, chemical and biological processes governing the fate of pollutants in an aquatic environment. The volume contains only papers written by invited contributors, active researchers and leading experts in the field from European countries. more...

  • Urban Groundwater Pollutionby David N. Lerner

    Taylor & Francis 2003; US$ 134.95

    Explaining the nature and value of urban groundwater, this text, written by a UNESCO/IAH group, includes a detailed discussion of six urban environments ranging from mature industrial cities to weathered crystalline aquifers and arid-zone cities. more...

  • Contaminant Hydrologyby S.A. Grant

    CRC Press 2000; US$ 119.95

    This text covers problems of contaminant hydrology, strategies for development of cost effective amelioration procedures, basic guidelines for conducting groundwater modelling, and feasibility and computer model studies. more...

  • Cyanide in Water and Soil: Chemistry, Risk, and Managementby David A. Dzombak

    CRC Press 2005; US$ 189.95

    This is the first book in 20 years that presents the state-of-the-art on managing cyanide in the environment. The book covers occurrence, fate and transport, toxicity, risk assessment and treatment technologies. more...

  • Groundwater Contamination, Volume IIby Chester D. Rail

    CRC Press 2000; US$ 159.95

    Fully updated and expanded into two volumes, the new edition of Groundwater Contamination explains in a comprehensive way the sources for groundwater contamination, the regulations governing it, and the technologies for abating it. Volume 1 covers all major contaminants and explains the hydrology and data used to determine the extent of pollution. Volume 2 discusses aquifer management, including technologies to control and stabilize multiple influxes into the water table. This volume outlines strategies for stormwater control and groundwater restoration. A number of case histories on site analysis and remediation based on DOE and state documents are included. Among the many new features of this edition are a full discussion of risk assessment,... more...
