Advanced Technologies in Wastewater Treatment – Pulp and Paper Industry

This book presents a comprehensive exploration of both established and innovative methods in Pulp and Paper (P&P) wastewater treatment, offering insights into future research directions. It covers physical processes, such as sedimentation and froth flotation, and delves into physiochemical methods like activated carbon filtration and chemical precipitation, along with biological techniques including aerobic and anaerobic treatments. Advanced and emerging techniques, such as ozonation, photocatalysis, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), electrolysis, and microbial fuel cells (MFCs), are examined in dedicated chapters. Finally, this book discusses the industry’s challenges, economic considerations, and future prospects for PPI wastewater management.
