Description
This second edition is fully updated with new material to create a comprehensive and accessible reference book:
• New chapters on sulfur removal via bioelectrochemical systems, use of sulfate
radicals in advanced oxidation processes and sulfur nanoparticle biosynthesis.
• New sections on: sulfur cycle chemistry and microbiology; sulfate removal vs.
recovery of resources from sulfate-rich wastewaters; microaeration for biogas
desulfurisation; biological treatment of gypsum and sulfur-rich solid waste;
up-to-date process control for treatment of sulfur-rich waste streams.
• New case studies with emphasis on practices for sewer and steel corrosion
control, odour mitigation, autotrophic denitrification and bioremediation of
acid mine polluted sites in both developed and developing countries have
been included.
• Novel concepts of environmental technologies to treat sulfur pollution of
wastewater, off-gases, solid waste, soils and sediments are presented.
• Up-to-date research findings and innovative technologies for recovering
resources, i.e. metals, fertiliser, biofuels and irrigation water, from sulfur
polluted waste are provided.
This book may serve both as an advanced textbook for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in environmental sciences, technology or engineering as well as a handbook for tertiary educators, researchers, professionals and policymakers who conduct research and practices in the sulfur related fields. It is essential reading for consulting companies when dealing with sulfur related environmental (bio)technologies.
