Innovative and Hybrid Technologies for Wastewater Treatment and Recycling

Innovative and Hybrid Technologies for Wastewater Treatment and Recycling investigates the biological and non-biological features of the treatment process for wastewater and emphasizes the benefits that these aspects bring for sustainable engineering. It discusses several approaches that are based on biological and non-biological processes and examines the fundamental principles, practical applications, current achievements, future aspects, and associated limits. Further, it provides a wide range of innovative research on the treatment of wastewater, as well as the applications in the treatment, remediation, and pollution prevention processes.

• Explains the principles and concepts of the most recent and innovative treatment processes for wastewater remediation.
• Examines emerging nanofiber technology for the purification of wastewater.
• Provides an overview of the most cutting-edge environmentally friendly technologies.
