Low Cost Water and Wastewater Treatment Systems: Conventional and Recent Advances introduces different conventional and advanced low-cost systems for water and wastewater treatment. The technologies involve conventional biological processes with low-cost and newly developed processes for improving the performance of the treatment processes. The book also contains chapters describing some main topics which discusses their principles, development, and applications: 1) low-cost biological treatment system; 2) bioremediation technologies; 3) natural-based technologies; 4) biomedia-based technologies; 5) adsorption-based technologies; 6) membrane filtration-based technologies; and 7) emerging technologies. It investigates various low-cost treatment technologies and applies these to the removal of organic matters, nutrients, and emerging micro pollutants in developing countries and worldwide.
