Publisher's Synopsis
Over the last two decades environmental concerns and energy shortages have focused increased attention on anaerobic digestion as a viable alternative process for pollution abatement and the treatment of wastewaters and sludges. The proceedings of an international symposium on the subject (the 6th in a series) are published here. This series of symposia has proved to be the leading forum for discussion and reports on the study of anaerobic processes. The topics included in this volume are: applied fundamentals of anaerobic processes; kinetics, modelling and process control; treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater; landfills, leachate and hazardous waste treatment; treatment of solid wastes and slurries; and reactor design and post-treatment.
