gives mechanisms, factors, characteristics, and techniques of aerobic granulation and
applications to the oil remediation. Chapter 7 by Denaro et al. reviews the use and
synergy of bacteria and algae to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons. Chapter 8 by
Samanta and Mitra presents the types of petroleum hydrocarbons polluting waters
and their abatement by physical, chemical, and biological methods. Chapter 9 by
Mustapha examines aspects of pharmaceuticals such as active metabolites, influxes,
distribution, analysis, fate, and transport routes. Chapter 10 by Saggioro reviews
advanced oxidation processes (AOP) such as heterogeneous processes using TiO 2 ;
homogeneous processes using ozone, ultraviolet, hydrogen peroxide, and the Fenton
reagents; and coupling AOP and other treatment processes for the removal of
personal care products, for example, triclosan and triclocarban, and pharmaceuticals
compounds: carbamazepine, diclofenac, and ibuprofen. Chapter 11 by Othman et al.
reports advanced technologies for the treatment of oily industrial wastewater, such as
flotation, coagulation, biological treatment, membrane filtration, and electrochemical treatment.
Chapter 12 by Fatehi et al. details the source of oil contaminants and two types of
oil removal technologies: remediation by physical, thermal, and chemical methods
and bioremediation. Chapter 13 by Dheenadayalan and Thiruvengadathan reviews
sources, health effects, and remediation of organic pollutants in waters. Remediation
includes physical, chemical, and biological methods. Chapter 14 by Karim et al.
proposes the application of soil as a heterogeneous Fenton catalyst for the abatement
of organic pollutants. Performance of clay, laterite, and volcanic soils to decompose
hydrogen peroxide in water medium is explained. Chapter 15 by Sun et al. discusses
properties, toxicity, contamination levels, analysis, and treatment of waters contaminated by phthalates.
Chapter 16 by Patel et al. discusses adverse effects, treatment technologies, and
management processes of tannery waste. Chapter 17 by Ashraf et al. compares
methods for the treatments of dyes and pigments, such as physical, chemical, and
biological techniques. Chapter 18 by Akram presents the methodologies used for the
treatment of textile waste, with focus on nanomaterials such as silica and iron-based
magnetic materials such as sorbents and photocatalysts. Synthetic and biomaterialsbased composites are also discussed as next-generation materials for wastewater
treatment.
