Описание:
Sustainable Water and Wastewater Processing covers the 12 most current topics in the field of sustainable water processing. Emphasis is given on water as a resource (quality, supply, distribution, and aquifer recharge), emerging sustainable technologies for potable and wastewater treatment, water reuse and recycling, advanced membrane processes, desalination technologies, integrated and hybrid technologies, process modeling, advanced oxidative and catalytic processes, environmentally, economically and socially sustainable technology for water treatment, industrial water treatment, reuse, and recovery of materials, as well as emerging nanotechnology and biotechnology for water processing.
Responding to the goals of sustainability requires the maximum utilization of all water resources, water processing with restricted energy costs and reduced greenhouse gas production. Following these trends, Sustainable Water and Wastewater Processing covers all the important aspects of sustainable water processing and support, and will be useful to the scientific community, professionals, enterprises and international agencies that deal with water processing, recycling and reutilization.
Covers cutting edge topics of water process engineering, sustainability and energy efficiency
Fills the transfer knowledge gap between academia and industry, by analyzing associated environmental, economic and sustainability challenges of water processing in an integral approach
Includes theoretical and applied research, technological and industrial solutions for the sustainable, economic and large scale water treatment, recycling and reutilization
Analyses potentiality and economic feasibility of already commercialized processes
A handbook for anyone dealing with sustainability issues of water processing
Living simply isn’t always simple. When Alan Boye first lived in sustainable housing, he was young, idealistic, and not much susceptible to compromise—until rattlesnakes, black widow spiders, and loneliness drove him out of the utilities-free yurt he’d built in New Mexico. Thirty-five years later, he decided to try again. This time, with an idealism tempered by experience and practical considerations, Boye and his wife constructed an off-the-grid, energy-efficient, straw bale house in Vermont.
Sustainable Compromises chronicles these two remarkable attempts to live simply in two disparate American eras. Writing with hard-won authority and humor, Boye takes up the “how-to” practicalities of “building green,” from finances to nuts and bolts to strains on friends and family. With Walden as a historical and philosophical touchstone and his own experience as a practical guide, he also explores the ethical and environmental concerns that have framed such undertakings from Thoreau’s day to our own. A firsthand account of the pleasures and pitfalls of living simply, his book is a deeply informed and engaging reflection on what sustainability really means—in personal, communal, ethical, and environmental terms.
