This reference focuses on established and emerging chemical procedures for the management of pollutants in industrial wastewater and the environment-offering an in-depth explanation of the degradation process, mechanisms, and control factors affecting each method, as well as issues crucial to the application of these approaches in real-world treatment sites.

Offers implementation guidelines and examples of remediation strategies that are crucial to effective wastewater cleansing.

Supplemented with more than 1100 current references, Chemical Degradation Methods for Wastes and Pollutants

• studies metal catalyzed oxidations and reductions, natural and synthetic catalysis, supercritical water and wet air oxidation, and sonochemistry
• details electrochemical degradation techniques, as well as current photolytic and photocatalytic methods
• links chemical degradation methods to concepts in biodegradation, biotechnology, and toxicology

Chemical Degradation Methods for Wastes and Pollutants is essential reading for chemical, environmental, pollution control, civil, and industrial engineers; hazardous and industrial waste specialists; remediation technicians; environmental and soil scientists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
