Review: The authors aim to provide the latest information on this topic. The main coverage of the book is biodegradation which the authors feel is the most fascinating aspect in environmental sciences and will remain challenge and area for future research. The book identifies the major biochemical mechanisms, reviews process modeling and the connection between design and the mechanics of the activated sludge process. Chapter titles are: introduction, energetics of stoichiometry of substrate removal, modeling of organic carbon removal, modelling of nutrient removal, experimental assessment of biodegradation, management of industrial wastewaters, continuous flow activated sludge technology, sequence batch reactor technology, management of textile wastewaters, and management of tannery wastewaters.
