and maintenance), simple to operate, proven technologies, is a
key component in any strategy aimed at increasing the
coverage of wastewater treatment.
Sustainable Treatment and Reuse of Municipal Wastewater
presents the concepts of appropriate technology for
wastewater treatment and the issues of strategy and policy
for increasing wastewater treatment coverage. The book
focuses on the resolution of wastewater treatment and disposal
problems in developing countries, however the concepts
presented are valid and applicable anywhere and plants based
on combined unit processes of appropriate technology can
also be used in developed countries and provide to them the
benefits described.
Sustainable Treatment and Reuse of Municipal Wastewater
presents the basic engineering design procedures to obtain
high quality effluents by treatment plants based on simple, low
cost and easy to operate processes. The main message of
the book is the idea of the ability to combine unit processes
to create a treatment plant based on a series of appropriate
technology processes which jointly can generate any required
effluent quality.
A plant based on a combination of appropriate technology
unit processes is still easy to operate and is usually of lower
costs than conventional processes in terms of investment and
certainly in operation and maintenance.
Chapters in the book are organized in a practical and accessible
way to:
• demonstrate selected unit process of appropriate technology
and provide the scientific basis, the equations and the
parameters required to design the unit processes, with some
innovations developed by the authors.
• highlight design procedures for selected combined processes
which are in use in developing countries.
• propose an innovative Orderly Design Method (ODM),
which is easy to follow by practicing engineers, using the
equations and formulas developed, once the fundamentals of
each unit and combined process have been established.
• provide a numeric example for the basic design of each
selected appropriate technology process for a city with a
population of 20,000 using the ODM and an Excel program
which will be provided to the readers for download from an
online web page.
This book is a valuable and practical resource for all wastewater
treatment engineers in field and the operational managers of
waste treatment facilities.

Water & Wastewater Treatment
Chemistry of Ozone in Water and
Wastewater Treatment
From Basic Principles to Applications
Authors: Clemens von Sonntag
and Urs von Gunten
Even though ozone has been applied for
a long time for disinfection and oxidation
in water treatment, there is lack of
critical information related to
transformation of organic compounds.
This has become more important in
recent years, because there is
considerable concern about the
formation of potentially harmful
degradation products as well as
oxidation products from the reaction
with the matrix components. In recent years, a wealth of
information on the products that are formed has accumulated,
and substantial progress in understanding mechanistic details of
ozone reactions in aqueous solution has been made. Based on
the latter, this may allow us to predict the products of as yet
not studied systems and assist in evaluating toxic potentials in
case certain classes are known to show such effects. Keeping
this in mind, Chemistry of Ozone in Water and Wastewater
Treatment: From Basic Principles to Applications will discuss
mechanistic details of ozone reactions as much as they are
known to date and apply them to the large body of studies on
micropollutant degradation such as pharmaceuticals and
endocrine disruptors that is already available. Extensively
quoting the literature and updating the available compilation of
ozone rate constants will give the reader a text at hand on
which his research can be based. Moreover, those that are
responsible for planning or operation of ozonation steps in
drinking water and wastewater treatment plants will find salient
information in a compact form that otherwise is quite disperse.
A critical compilation of rate constants for the various classes
of compounds is given in each chapter, including all the recent
publications. This is a very useful source of information for
researchers and practitioners who need kinetic information on
emerging contaminants. Furthermore, each chapter contains
a large selection of examples of reaction mechanisms for the
transformation of micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals,
pesticides, fuel additives, solvents, taste and odor compounds,
cyanotoxins.
