Anaerobic Treatment of Domestic Wastewater (Present Status and Potentialities)
The book presents the state of knowledge and the future perspectives of anaerobic processes applied as mainstream treatment of domestic wastewater, which in the last few decades, due to the development of effective technologies such as the high-rate bioreactors, became competitive with the conventional aerobic process even in moderate climatic regions. The book consists of 12 chapters covering the main aspects related to the anaerobic treatment
of domestic wastewater including engineering, microbiology, process monitoring and control, sustainability derived by energy and resource recovery, life-cycle assessment, and techno-economic analysis. Effective technologies namely upflow anaerobic sludge blanket bioreactors, membrane bioreactors, and granular and immobilized biomass systems, potentially able to achieve removal performance of high organics even at low temperatures, are presented in detail, and their status of application is reported.

Detection and Treatment of Emerging Contaminants in Wastewater
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we present this comprehensive book, Detection and Treatment of Emerging Contaminants in Wastewater, which delves into the critical challenges posed by emerging contaminants in wastewater and explores innovative detection and treatment methods. Wastewater management has always been a matter of paramount importance for the preservation of our green environment and the well-being of society. However, with the rampant advancements in industrial and technological sectors, new contaminants have emerged, presenting unprecedented challenges for conventional wastewater treatment processes. Emerging contaminants, such as micro and macro plastics, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides, and industrial chemicals,
possess the potential to adversely impact on aquatic ecosystems and human health.

Algal Systems for Resource Recovery from Waste and Wastewater
In the past few decades, our planet has witnessed an unprecedented surge in population, carbon emissions, and the demand for essential resources, particularly energy and water. This exponential growth has come at a cost: a staggering increase in waste and wastewater, presenting formidable challenges to our environment and sustainability. Faced with this urgent dilemma, the imperative to develop innovative technologies for resource recovery has never been more critical. Amidst this challenge, algae, tiny yet extraordinary photosynthetic organisms, have emerged as potent microbiota in the quest for environmental solutions. In this context, this book Algal Systems for Resource Recovery from Waste and Wastewater testifies to the pivotal role algae can play in addressing some
of the world’s most pressing issues.

Introduction to Wastewater Treatment
Introduction
• Wastewater can be defined as any water or liquid that contains impurities or pollutants in the form of solids, liquids or gases or their combinations in such a concentration that is harmful if disposed into the environment.

Basic Principles of Wastewater Treatment (Volume 2)
The present series of books has been produced based on the book “Biological wastewater treatment in warm climate regions”, written by the same authors and also published by IWA Publishing. The main idea behind this series is the subdivision of the original book into smaller books, which could be more easily purchased and used. The implementation of wastewater treatment plants has been so far a challenge for most countries. Economical resources, political will, institutional strength and cultural background are important elements defining the trajectory of pollution control in many countries. Technological aspects are sometimes mentioned as being one of the reasons hindering further developments. However, as shown in this series of books, the vast array of available processes for the treatment of wastewater should be seen as an incentive, allowing the selection of the most appropriate solution in technical and economical terms for each community or catchment area.

Biological Wastewater Treatment
The first edition of this book was published in 2008 and it went on to become IWA Publishing’s bestseller. Clearly there was a need for it because over the twenty years prior to 2008, the knowledge and understanding of wastewater treatment had advanced extensively and moved away from empirically-based approaches to a fundamental first-principles approach based on chemistry, microbiology, physical and bioprocess engineering, mathematics and modelling.
