Industrial Wastewater Treatment and Recycling

Environmental Microbiology

The process of converting contaminated or used water into something useful is known as wastewater treatment. Chemical, biological, physical, or a combination of these treatment modalities are all possible. Any desired level of water purity might be achieved, but doing so would become more expensive as the level of purity increases. The intended use, such as irrigation, hydration, or aquatic life, affects the quality of the water. This chapter's goal is to explain frequently utilized waste treatment techniques. The technology chosen as being appropriate for one application may not ultimately be the best for another. Decisions are influenced by local factors including accessible resources, climate, land accessibility, economy, etc.
