Processos Tecnológicos e Modelagens Matemáticas de Oxidação de Percolados de Aterros Sanitários

Este livro tem como objetivo principal apresentar um estudo abrangente sobre diversos tipos de processos oxidativos na degradação de lixiviados de aterros sanitários, também denominados de chorume. O chorume, classificado pela Usepa como um material perigoso (hazardous material), é gerado mundialmente em grandes quantidades e apresenta potencial de causar danos não só ao ser humano, mas ao ecossistema de uma forma geral. Apresenta composição complexa e muito variável, de difícil degradação, com constituintes recalcitrantes e metais pesados. Numa primeira parte da obra, é apresentado um embasamento das questões de geração de chorume, formas de tratamento, planejamento de expe...

  • Publisher: Springer

This volume reviews the drinking water treatments in which AOPs display a high application potential. Firstly it reveals the typical supply sources and limitations of conventional technologies and critically reviews natural organic matter characterization and removal techniques, focusing mainly on AOP treatments. It then explores using AOPs for simultaneous inactivation/disinfection of several types of microorganisms, including highly resistant Cryptosporidium protozoa. Lastly, it discusses relevant miscellaneous topics, like the most promising AOP solid catalysts, the regime change of Fenton-like processes toward continuous reactors, the application of chemometrics for process optimization,...

Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment

The suitability of Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) for pollutant degradation was recognised in the early 1970s and much research and development work has been undertaken to commercialise some of these processes. AOPs have shown great potential in treating pollutants at both low and high concentrations and have found applications as diverse as ground water treatment, municipal wastewater sludge destruction and VOCs control. Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment is an overview of the advanced oxidation processes currently used or proposed for the remediation of water, wastewater, odours and sludge. The book contains two opening chapters which present introductions...

Bioreactors

In this expert handbook both the topics and contributors are selected so as to provide an authoritative view of possible applications for this new technology. The result is an up-to-date survey of current challenges and opportunities in the design and operation of bioreactors for high-value products in the biomedical and chemical industries. Combining theory and practice, the authors explain such leading-edge technologies as single-use bioreactors, bioreactor simulators, and soft sensor monitoring, and discuss novel applications, such as stem cell production, process development, and multi-product reactors, using case studies from academia as well as from industry. A final section addresses the latest trends, including culture media design and systems biotechnology, which are expected to have an increasing impact on bioreactor design. With its focus on cutting-edge technologies and discussions of future developments, this handbook will remain an invaluable reference for many years to come.
