Pollution Control for Clean EnvironmentVolume 1

This book presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Pollution Control for Clean Environment (ICPCCE-2023). It introduces readers to the recent emerging pollutants in air and water environments and in solid waste and sheds light on the newly developed control strategies. The book discusses various topics including the occurrence of emerging contaminants, micropollutants in water, wastewater and aquatic environments, occurrence pathways, surface and groundwater pollution and risk and impact assessment of pollution. The chapters provide advanced information topics including effective monitoring, detection, sustainable practices, cleaner and innovative water and wastewater treatment technologies, and emerging contaminant removal. The book also includes information on energy-positive technologies and recent advances in the upgradation of existing systems. It also extensively discusses life cycle assessment and the application of environmental indicators and circulareconomy in pollution control strategies. The book covers the interaction of pollutants in the atmosphere and discusses innovative air pollution control strategies, including a detailed discussion of carbon capture and storage. The book presents various strategies for managing solid waste and discusses several novel technologies for the management of the present-day concern of plastic waste and e-waste. Given the present-day need for the recovery and re-use of various waste materials, this book delves extensively into how waste materials can be used for different purposes. It also talks about the recovery of energy and other useful by-products contributing towards economical and sustainable solutions. The book discusses various case studies on recently developed technologies and evaluates a wide range of technologies for pollutant removal and their implementation in the field. This book provides a ready reference for environmental engineers, practitioners, policymakers and planners. It also served as a practical guide for industrial engineers, government bodies, ecologists and researchers.
