Food and Agricultural Wastewater Utilization and Treatment focuses on the cost-effective treatment technologies specific to food and agriculture wastewater and possible economical recovery of valuable substances from wastewater during common food processing and postharvest operations using innovative technologies. The technologies included in the book are not a mere collection of all known relevant technologies. Instead, priority consideration is given to the technologies that can not only solve the environmental problem of wastewater disposal but also reduce the wastewater management cost, in the long run, for food and agriculture industries. The book combines past decades of research on food and agricultural wastewater issues with an abundance of emerging research on innovative separation technologies to separate biological molecules from complex biological systems. Food technologists as well as environmental and agricultural engineers/scientists will find Food and Agricultural Wastewater Utilization and Treatment invaluable in their quest to improve food and agricultural wastewater management.
