Features: This book can serve as a textbook and reference for undergraduate and graduate students in environmental science and engineering, water supply and drainage, and water resources management, as well as for scientific researchers, engineering designers, operation managers, environmental protectors, urban planners, and water resource managers in the fields of water pollution control and wastewater treatment. The book comprehensively and systematically introduces the advancements in technology, innovations in processes, shifts in concepts, and updates in relevant theories in domestic and international water pollution control over the past 20 years. The book focuses on new theories and processes in biological nitrogen removal and phosphorus removal (particularly short-cut nitrification-denitrification), new biological treatment systems and processes with efficient nitrogen and phosphorus removal, new anaerobic biological treatment processes and equipment, ecological wastewater treatment and reuse systems such as constructed wetland systems, multi-stage pond systems, and land treatment systems primarily for agricultural irrigation, advanced oxidation technologies capable of effectively oxidizing and degrading refractory organic compounds, membrane separation technologies capable of producing high-quality effluent and their integration with biological treatment technologies in membrane bioreactors, wastewater recycling and reuse technologies including greywater systems in buildings, communities, and residential areas, and centralized wastewater recycling projects with advanced treatment technologies, as well as rainwater harvesting, purification, and reuse technologies including rainwater collection, treatment, and reuse in buildings, communities, and residential areas (toilet flushing, car washing, laundry, and garden/landscaping irrigation) and large-scale rainwater runoff collection, treatment, and storage/recovery in groundwater aquifers, as well as sludge reduction, resource utilization, harmless treatment, and disposal, regional and basin-wide comprehensive water pollution control, and future development trends in water pollution control.
