Life Cycle Assessment of Wastewater Treatment

Description

Life-cycle Assessment of Wastewater Treatment addresses in detail the required in-depth life-cycle assessment of wastewater treatment. This is to meet the special demands placed upon wastewater treatment processes, due to both the limited quantity and often low quality of water supplies. Wastewater management clearly plays a central role in achieving future water security in a world where water stress is expected to increase. Life cycle assessment (LCA) can be used as a tool to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with wastewater treatment and potential improvement options. This unique volume will focus on the analysis of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), using a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach Content: Cover Half Title Series Page Title Copyright Contents Preface Series Editor Editor Acknowledgements Contributors 1: Environmental and Health Effects Due to the Usage of Wastewater P.
