Author Description

This book is highly beneficial for a better understanding of the techniques involved in sewage treatment plants and the recovery of components from the contaminated matrix for valuable applications. The generation of a huge amount of sewage and sewage in cities and sub-cities is a big environmental crisis. Discharge of untreated or partially treated sewage imposes severe environmental pollution and health hazards. Various types of sewage treatment methods are used in different cities based on the current requirements. There are various norms, laws, and policies for the safe disposal of sludge and the discharge of sewage. In this proposed book, the generation of various sewage and sludge will be discussed in detail. Chemical analysis of sewage and sludge has been included in this proposed book. The impact of sewage and sludge on water resources, soil crops, and human health is also included in this proposed book. Various traditional and advanced treatment technologies of sewage treatment will be part of the proposed book. Reuse and recovery of nutrients and metals are also incorporated in this proposed book. One proposed chapter is dedicated to legislation in sewage discharge, and sludge disposal is also included in this proposed book. So, in this proposed book, we tried to incorporate a holistic view related to environmental issues of sewage and sludge and their management strategies. This not only leads to enhancement of valuable resources but also reduces the problem of environmental contamination. The conclusive reports presented in the present book will also help different researchers and government authorities to implement the best possible methods in the treatment of sewage and sludge in different industries.
