Modern Tools and Methods of Water Treatment for Improving Living Standards by Alexander Omelchenko,Alexander A. Pivovarov,W. Jim Swindall Pdf

Providing the population of the Earth with safe drinking water is one of the biggest challenges of modern society. In recognition of this problem the United Nations Organization and UNESCO declared 2003 to be the International Year of Freshwater. On November 19-22, 2003, the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on “Modern Tools and Methods of Water Treatment for Improving Living Standards” took place in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. Thirty-one participants from 15 countries including Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Italy, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, UK, Ukraine, USA, and Uzbekistan attended the meeting. They discussed the scientific concepts and practical means for the solution of the complex social, economic and ecological problems associated with water purification, consumption, conservation, and protection. They also established a network of scientists and specialists to foster further collaboration and the exchange of ideas. The location of the ARW was chosen quite deliberately. The city of Dnepropetrovsk is located on the banks of the Dnieper River and it has a population of about 1. 3 million people. As it is one of the largest industrial centers, it shares all the environmental problems, which are found in the modern Ukraine. In 2001, one in seven of the water samples taken from Ukrainian industrial and drinking water supply systems did not meet sanitary-hygienic standards, and one in twelve did not meet microbiological standards.

Physical, Chemical and Biological Treatment Processes for Water and Wastewater by Tushar Kanti Sen Pdf

Water pollution occurs when toxic pollutants of varying kinds (organic, inorganic, radioactive and so on) are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove such potential pollutants. Today's sources of these potential pollutants, which cause high deterioration of freshwater quality, are city sewage and industrial waste discharge, human agricultural practices, industrial waste disposal practices, mining activities, civil and structural work activities and obviously natural contamination with climate change. When our water is polluted, it is not only devastating to the environment but also to human health. Therefore, development of water and wastewater treatment processes to alleviate water pollution has been a challenging and demanding task for engineers, scientists and researchers. Perhaps this is even more challenging for underdeveloped and developing countries, where water and wastewater treatment facilities, knowledge and infrastructure are limited. Water and wastewater treatment processes are broad and often multidisciplinary in nature, comprising a mixture of research areas including physical, chemical and biological methods to remove or transform various potential pollutants. This is in hopes to achieve acceptable water quality and satisfy governmental and environmental protection agencies' laws and regulations. With these objectives, this book has been written in order to provide various research results and compilation and up-to-date development on the current states of knowledge and techniques in the broad field of water and wastewater treatment processes. Basically, this book will give a comprehensive understanding and advancement and application of various physical, chemical and biological treatment methods in the reduction of potential pollutants (inorganics/organics) from water and wastewater. There are a total 18 book chapters contributed by large number of expert authors around the world, covering the following main research areas: Physical, chemical and biological water treatment processes such as adsorption, biosorption, coagulation/flocculation, electrocoagulation, denitration, membrane filtration/separation, photo-catalytic reduction, advanced oxidation, nutrients removal by struvite crystallisation and nanotechnology; Physical, chemical and biological methods for municipal wastewater and industrial wastewater treatment plants such as primary-secondary sludge treatments, anaerobic digestions, aerobic treatment, activated sludge processes, dewaterability by flocculants, pre-treatments of sludge and rheology of sludge in wastewater treatment; Various operational units/equipment and process control of wastewater treatment plant.

Clean Water for Life by John C Rigdon,Dieuseul Istache Pdf

The United Nations University Institute for Natural Resources in Africa (UNU-INRA) supported a study in rural communities in Ghana and assessed its potential for eco-business development. The findings revealed that, out of 150 rural households sampled, nearly half of the respondents lacked access to improved water supply. Similarly, a majority of the respondents (82%) did not apply any form of treatment to their drinking water. Interestingly, cultural reasons, cost and difficulty of treatment emerged as the main reasons that discouraged point-of-use water treatment. These findings call for education especially in rural communities, to promote the use of water treatment technologies like the bio-sand filter in rural households, particularly in developing continents.Education on household water treatment and storage interventions could be intensified in community health outreach programs, especially in communities that lack access to improved drinking water. This book focuses on the "how to" of water purification with detailed instructions and pictures on each of the five methods; boiling and aeration, chemical treatment, the three bucket method, the bio-sand filter and the SODIS (Solar Water Disinfection) method. It discusses the pros and cons of each method with an emphasis on methods which can be implemented without specialized training.Clean Water for Life also includes an extensive section on the commonly encountered germs and other pollutants with instructions on how to prevent and treat them.We also publish two other manuals on the subject of water purification, one for the health worker and the other focusing on community involvement and education.
