Description
Description
Food, Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry: Advanced Technologies in Wastewater Treatment provides an overview of current techniques, processes, and strategies in the field of wastewater management, dealing either with the recovery of co-products, biomolecules or simply water recovery and purification. The book highlights the latest developments in different areas of agro-food productions, focusing on innovative technologies and control strategies in the treatment of wastewaters derived from different industries, including dairy, seafood processing plants, olive oil manufacturing factories, fruit juice and beverage, wine and beer and various other food processing facilities.
In addition, it features technologies and processes ranging from adsorption-assisted technologies, advanced oxidation processes, hydrodynamic cavitation, pressure-driven membrane technologies, algae-based treatments, membrane bioreactors, engineered composite materials-based treatments, photocatalysis-based treatments, and ultrasound-assisted electrochemical processes.
