Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Water and Wastewater: Advanced Treatment Processes

Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Water and Wastewater: Advanced Treatment Processes presents the state-of-the-art in the design and use of adsorbents, membranes, and UV/oxidation processes, along with the challenges that will need to be addressed to close the gap between development and implementation in water/wastewater treatment applications. Chapters cover adsorbent and membrane design and performance, direct comparison of performance data between new (inorganic and metal organic nanoporous materials) and classic adsorbents and membranes, a list of advantages, disadvantages, and challenges related to performance limitations, regenerability, and upscaling. In addition, users will find sections on the identification of potential site and off-site applications that are listed according to adsorbent and membrane types, transformation of CECs in low- and/or medium-pressure UV irradiation processes used for disinfection, the oxidation of CECs by chlorine and ozone, and a comparison of advanced oxidation processes for the treatment of a variety of CECs in water and wastewater. Addresses the advantages/disadvantages of select technologies, including energy resource needs and waste management issues of reverse osmosis, amongst other issues Presents information on the advancements of technology within the realm of Engineered Treatments of CECsFocuses on the inherent science and technology of advanced treatment processes INDICE: 1: Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs)2: Adsorption Based Separations3 - 5: These chapters will focus each on nanoporous inorganic adsorbents metal organic frameworks6: Membrane Based Separations7 - 9: These chapters will focus each on reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, and membrane bioreactors for CEC removal 10: UV/oxidation transformation processes11 - 13: Each chapter will focus on specific UV/oxidation alternatives, including those currently employed in water/wastewater treatment plants and cutting-edge technologies, such as advanced oxidation processes, for future deployment
