Water is essential to our planet’s life, and protecting our water resources is a prerequisite for building a sustainable future. Since water use is inextricably linked to energy use, however, we face significant challenges. Water plays an essential role in many, if not most, manufacturing facilities. In a world facing a water-scarcity crisis, much research and development currently focuses on decreasing industries’ water-use footprint.

This compendium volume looks briefly at several select industries and investigates various water treatment processes for each, including microbial biotechnologies, ozone-related processes, adsorption, and photochemical reactions, among others. The various industries are organized into four groups:
  • industries that produce petrochemicals
  • metal industries
  • the semi-conductor industry
  • the paper and pulp industries
Collected by a well-respected expert in the field, the studies he has gathered here are intended to be a starting point for further investigation by graduate students and other scientific researchers. Today’s research, found in these chapters, can be expanded to create tomorrow’s even wider frame of study.
