About this ebook

Wastewater Valorization: Turning Effluents into Valuable Resources: Development in Wastewater Treatment Research and Processes approaches wastewater management by emphasizing the transformation of effluents into valuable resources. The book explores cutting-edge technologies and methodologies aimed at addressing environmental challenges and promoting circular economy principles. From biomass valorization to electrochemical processes and algal biorefinery systems, it presents a wealth of information for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers focused on resource recovery and sustainability. Sections cover a variety of innovative techniques, including microbial fuel cells, hydrothermal liquefaction, and the Fenton process, providing practical insights through real-world examples and case studies.Each chapter illustrates how these methods have been successfully implemented, empowering readers to apply theoretical concepts in their own fields, whether in industry or academia. Users will find this to be a valuable resource that emphasizes the interconnectedness of circular economy principles and sustainable practices in wastewater management. - Explores innovative techniques for wastewater valorization, including electrochemical processes, microbial fuel cells, and algal biorefinery systems - Integrates real-world examples and case studies throughout, demonstrating the practical application of wastewater valorization techniques and how to implement theoretical concepts in projects - Analyzes the interconnection of circular economy principles with wastewater management, presenting strategies that transform waste into valuable resources
