This new book provides a multiperspective
look at research into many elements of remediating environmental hazards
connected to sewage and landfill leachate. Sewage and landfill leachate
treatments include various processes that are used to manage and
dispose of the liquid portions of solid waste. Untreated leachate and
sewage are hazards to the environment if they enter the water system.
The goal of treatment is to reduce the contaminating load to the point
that leachate and sewage liquids may be safely released into
groundwater, streams, lakes, and the ocean.
Around the
world, however, huge volumes of contaminated water from sewage and
landfill leachate is still pumped directly into water systems,
especially in the world’s developing nations. Aside from the damage to
marine environments and fisheries that this causes, it also jeopardizes
the world’s vulnerable water resources.
This compendium
volume explores effective sewage management, which is essential for
nutrient recycling and for maintaining ecosystem integrity. It looks at a
range of technologies that are available for the treatment of sewage
and landfill leachate. The editor, himself a respected and experienced
researcher in this field, includes chapters that cover biological
treatments, reverse osmosis, and chemical-physical processes. This
volume offers important research that will help us both assess our
existing treatment facilities, as well as build better, more effective
ones for the future.
