Wastewater Monitoring and Management by Advanced Approaches

This book provides an in-depth understanding of the latest technologies and approaches to monitor and manage wastewater such as the review of current state, the challenges faced by the industry, and the latest technological advancements in the field. The book is divided into two parts, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of wastewater monitoring and management. The part one includes the wastewater monitoring which highlights and provides an overview of the latest technologies, including remote sensing, GIS, biosensors, electrochemical sensors, and microfluidic devices. The part two focuses on the latest approaches to treat and manage wastewater. This part discusses advanced electrochemical methods, nanotechnology applications, membrane filtration techniques, electrocoagulation, microbial fuel cells, and the potential of artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT and big data analytics in wastewater management. The part also covers the potential of advanced biotechnological approaches to remove toxicants and enhance water quality. The book is a valuable resource for professionals and students in the field of wastewater management.
