Dieses Lehrbuch entwickelt die Grundprinzipien der Umwelttechnik: Wasser- und Abwasserbehandlung, Luftreinhaltung und die Entsorgung von Gefahrstoffen werden ausgewogen dargestellt und anhand zahlreicher realitätsnaher Beispiele in die Praxis umgesetzt. Die Studenten lernen, wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse im ingenieurtechnischen Alltag sinnvoll anzuwenden. (12/00)

Environmental engineers support the well-being of people and the planet in areas where the two intersect. Over the decades the field has improved countless lives through innovative systems for delivering water, treating waste, and preventing and remediating pollution in air, water, and soil. These achievements are a testament to the multidisciplinary, pragmatic, systems-oriented approach that characterizes environmental engineering. Environmental Engineering for the 21st Century: Addressing Grand Challenges outlines the crucial role for environmental engineers in this period of dramatic growth and change. The report identifies five pressing challenges of the 21st century that environmental engineers are uniquely poised to help advance: sustainably supply food, water, and energy; curb climate change and adapt to its impacts; design a future without pollution and waste; create efficient, healthy, resilient cities; and foster informed decisions and actions.

This text is well-suited for a course in introductory environmental engineering for sophomore, or junior level students. The emphasis is on concepts, definitions, descriptions, and abundant illustrations, rather than on engineering design detail.

Designed as a text for all undergraduate students of engineering for their core course in Environmental Science and Engineering and for elective courses in environmental health engineering and pollution and control engineering for students of civil engineering, this comprehensive text, now in its Second Edition provides an in-depth analysis of the fundamental concepts. It also introduces the reader to different niche areas of environmental science and engineering. The book covers a wide array of topics, such as natural resources, disaster management, biodiversity, and various forms of pollution, viz. water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, noise pollution, thermal pollution, and marine pollution, as well as environmental impact assessment and environmental protection. This edition introduces a new chapter on Environment and Human Health. KEY FEATURES : Gives in-depth yet lucid analysis of topics, making the book user-friendly. Covers important topics, which are adequately supported by illustrative diagrams. Provides case studies to explore real-life problems. Supplies review questions at the end of each chapter to drill the students in self-study.

Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Science: Switchable Solvents explores the preparation, properties, chemical processes and applications of this class of green solvents. The book provides an in-depth overview on the area of switchable solvents in various industrial applications, focusing on the purification and extraction of chemical compounds utilizing green chemistry protocols that include liquid-liquid, solid-liquid, liquid-gas and lipids separation technologies. In addition, it includes recent advances in greener extraction and separation processes. This book will be an invaluable guide to students, professors, scientists and R&D industrial specialists working in the field of sustainable chemistry, organic, analytical, chemical engineering, environmental and pharmaceutical sciences. - Provides a broad overview of switchable solvents in sustainable chemical processes - Compares the use of switchable solvents as greener solvents over conventional solvents - Outlines eco-friendly organic synthesis and chemical processes using switchable solvents - Lists various industrial separations/extraction processes using switchable solvents

Appropriate for undergraduate engineering and science courses in Environmental Engineering. Balanced coverage of all the major categories of environmental pollution, with coverage of current topics such as climate change and ozone depletion, risk assessment, indoor air quality, source-reduction and recycling, and groundwater contamination.
