Synopsis

Pollution Control and Resource Recovery: Sewage Sludge discusses several traditional and new environmentally friendly technologies for sewage sludge treatment and disposal. In addition, the book covers a range of new initiatives that are underway to promote and accelerate the development of related sciences and techniques.

The book's authors builds a framework for developing various sustainable technologies for sewage sludge treatment and disposal, including advanced dewatering through chemical conditioning, solidification/stabilization, reuse for the development of construction and building materials, anaerobic bioenergy recovery, sanitary landfill, and odor control.

• Explains environmentally friendly technologies for sewage sludge treatment and disposal, including advanced dewatering through chemical conditioning, solidification/stabilization, and anaerobic bioenergy recovery
• Includes valuable guidelines for engineers to address sludge issues, such as sanitary landfill and odor control
• Presents new developments and techniques that are on the horizon

Zhao Youcai, is currently a professor of environmental engineering at School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Tongji University. He got bachelor degree from Sichuan University (1984) and Ph.D. from Institute of Chemical Metallurgy (now Institute of Process Engineering), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing (1989). After finished Post-doctoral research work at Fudan University, Shanghai, he joined in Tongji University in 1991. Meanwhile, he had ever worked at Aristotle University, Greece, National University of Singapore, Tulane University, USA, and Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland, for 4 years as research fellow or visiting professor. He had authored or co-authored 200 publications published in peer-reviewed internationally recognized journals, 480 publications in China journals, authored 9 English books (at Elsevier and Springer) and authored or co-authored 98 Chinese books (as an author or Editor-in-chief), 4 textbooks for undergraduate, graduate and PhD students with a fourth edition of undergraduate textbook (in Chinese). Currently, his research interests include treatment and recycling of municipal and rural solid waste, construction and demolition waste, hazardous waste, industrial waste, electric and electronic waste, and sewage sludge, and polluted soil.

Zhen Guangyin, is currently JSPS research fellow at the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), Japan. He received his BEng Degree in Environmental Engineering from Hunan University, China in 2008 and his Ph.D. from Tongji University, China in 2014. Prior to joining in the NIES, he worked as a visiting researcher at the Tohoku University, Japan. He has authored or co-authored 26 peer-reviewed international papers, 5 Chinese papers and 4 invited book chapters. His principal research interests lie in sewage sludge treatment and renewable energy conversion (anaerobic digestion, microbial electrolysis cell, etc.).
