Processing of water is a major activity that affects health and safety in all countries of the world. While many water treatment processes have a long history of development and improvement, there is continuing progress both in terms of remediating new chemicals found in effluents and through ongoing laboratory research. The ten chapters in this book address varied subjects such as green chemistry in water processing, biofunctionalized adsorbents, biodegradation and adsorption of dyes, synthesis of adsorbents, olive oil waste treatment, and processing of industrial effluents. Notably, more than five thousand publications related to remediation of water have been gathered in a bibliometric study; the results are presented in chapter 2. Chapter 4 covers adsorption of heavy metals and includes information on many equilibrium isotherms. Bioremediation of industrial contaminants found in soil as well as industrial effluents are discussed in chapter 8. This chapter includes tables of effective microorganisms for biodegradation of different industrial wastes. All chapters, indeed, provide numerous citations and references as well as helpful tables and figures. Contributing authors hail from many different countries including Brazil, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Portugal, and Turkey. This collection will be especially useful for scholars and civil engineers concerned with preserving water resources through remediation. --L. E. Erickson, emeritus, Kansas State University Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readers.
