Wastewater to Resource Recovery: Applying the Circular Economy Toward Sustainable Development

Examines the strategic and economic viability of wastewater treatment processes

Wastewater to Resource Recovery comprehensively explores the economic viability of the processes used for wastewater treatment, discussing strategies, limitations in conventional treatment, recent methods for resource recovery, and relevant analysis of treatment for wastewater management. The book interweaves case studies across chapters showing the centralized and decentralized treatment processes as standalone processes as well as combinatorial multistep processes.

This book includes information on:

• The scale-up potential of various wastewater treatment technologies
• Background and comparative assessments of conventional technologies with known economic viability and cutting-edge technologies with unknown economic viability
• Differences between linear and circular economy with a focus on resource recovery from domestic and industrial sectors
• Importance of the circular economy for resource and energy recovery from wastewater, and related governmental regulatory implications

This reference is essential for researchers within a broad domain of various treatment processes of wastewater and resource recovery. Postgraduate and doctoral students in related fields and executives and researchers from municipal corporations planning the construction of wastewater treatment plants will also find it valuable.
