Table of Contents

Introduction. PAHs in natural waters: natural and anthropogenic sources, and environmental behavior. Quantitative changes of PAHs in water and in wastewater during treatment processes. Occurrence of PAHs in water resources in Tunisia. Occurrence, removal and fate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds in municipal conventional activated sludge processes and membrane bioreactors. PAHs in wastewater and removal efficiency in conventional wastewater treatment plants. Advanced oxidation potential of PAHs in the environment and engineered systems. PAH treatment in wastewater treatment facilities during wet and dry weather.

Reviews

""…a timely publication of relevant technologies to detect, quantify, and treat PAHs in various environmental matrices including water, wastewater, sewage, sludge, soil and sediment. Written by academic and industrial international experts, the book covers a wide spectrum providing in-depth analysis using up-to-date references, pilot and full-scale studies, relevant for academic researchers as well as practicing engineers."" —Madhumita B Ray, Professor, Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Western University, Ontario, Canada ""Wastewater treatment plants are considered as a point of convergence of a huge diversity of organic contaminants present at low to very low levels but that may affect our ecosystem when treated wastewaters and sludge are discharged into the environment; PAHs are ones of concerns. Their presence in natural waters, wastewaters, sludge, soils and sediments, their fate and removal during conventional and advanced wastewater treatments, their environmental behavior are of particular interest for engineers, scientists, policy makers, and are depicted in this book which gives an updated overview on these relevant topics."" —Dominique Patureau, INRA, Laboratoire de Biotechnologie de l’Environnement, Narbonne, France
