| Summary |
Based on a thorough, state-of-the-art knowledge of hazardous substances, this comprehensive reference relates how to remove contaminants from effluent streams. A highly regarded leader in the field, Jack Watson exhaustively discusses separation of environmental pollutants - enriching, stripping, clarification, benefication, remediation, removal, concentration, purification, and more - and critiques both tried-and-true and newer methods. Covering physical as well as chemical separation methods, Separation Methods for Waste and Environmental Applications is for environmental, pollution, chemical, and civil engineers; public health officials; health scientists; hazardous materials experts; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines |
