Free Download Endocrine Disrupters in Wastewater and Sludge Treatment Processes By J. W. Birkett, J. N. Lester
2003 | 312 Pages | ISBN: 1843390310 | PDF | 4 MB
Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) have been shown to produce changes in the endocrine system of organisms that lead to increases in cancers and abnormalities in reproductive structure and function. Recent research has highlighted the existence of hormonally active compounds in sewage and industrial effluents and their potential for recycling back into the environment – including drinking water supplies- through point sources and non-point sources. Endocrine Disrupters in Wastewater and Sludge Treatment Processes presents the latest research on EDCs, covering the sources, fate, and transport of EDCs in sewage and industrial effluents, and sludge treatment and disposal options in light of effects on receiving environments. In addition, the authors review current legislation, future research needs, and potential management strategies for endocrine disrupters in the environment.

English | 2024 | ISBN: 366266447X | 225 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 123 MB
This professional book deals with belt drying of sewage sludge, mainly of municipal but also of industrial origin. The wastewater treatment resulting in sludge production is briefly described. The types of sludge and their degree of stabilization is treated in depth as they have a high impact on their suitability for belt drying and the necessary exhaust air treatment. Different belt drying systems with or without condensing units and with extruding of dewatered sludge or partial recirculation of dried sludge are presented. Specific water evaporation and energy demand are tabulated for each dryer system on basis of indications of dryer manufacturers, measurements or information of dryer operators. Different sources for thermal energy are stipulated and complete systems of energy supply with internal or external usage of exhaust energy described. Occurring gas compounds in dryer exhaust air and their special features are mentioned in depth. The components and complete systems for exhaust air cleaning are discussed also in their efficiency of removal of individual odorous gas components or of total amount of volatile organic compounds. Conveying systems and storage of dewatered sludge as well as of dried sludge are described together with the related safety issues. Dryer control as well as ATEX, SIL and HAZOP issues and economic aspects are discussed briefly in individual chapters.
