Descripción

Pulp and Paper Industry: Advanced Technologies in Wastewater Treatment provides detailed discussion on the characteristics, environmental hazards, and human health effects of pulp and paper wastewater. The book discusses their different treatment methods and related challenges. These techniques start from physical methods such as sedimentation and froth flotation, followed by physiochemical treatments including activated carbon filtration, chemical precipitation, as well as biological techniques like aerobic and anaerobic processes. The book also covers application of advanced and novel wastewater treatment techniques in pulp and paper industries, such as ozonation, photocatalysis, advanced oxidation process, electrolysis, microbial fuel cells, etc., as well as challenges of industries, economic assessments, and future perspectives of pulp and paper wastewaters treatments.
