Environmental Transport Processes (PDF)

A unique approach to the challenges of complex environmental
systems

Environmental Transport Processes, Second Edition provides
much-needed guidance on mass transfer principles in environmental
engineering. It focuses on working with uncontrolled conditions
involving biological and physical systems, offering examples from
diverse fields, including mass transport, kinetics, wastewater
treatment, and unit processes.

This new edition is fully revised and updated, incorporating
modern approaches and practice problems at the end of chapters,
making the Second Edition more concise, accessible, and easy to
use.

The book discusses the fundamentals of transport processes
occurring in natural environments, with special emphasis on working
at the biological-physical interface. It considers transport
and kinetics in terms of systems that involve microorganisms, along
with in-depth coverage of particles, size spectra, and calculations
for particles that can be considered either spheres or fractals.
The book's treatment of particles as fractals is especially unique
and the Second Edition includes a new section on exoelectrogenic
biofilms. It also addresses dispersion in natural and engineered
systems unlike any other book on the subject.

Readers will learn to tackle with confidence complex
environmental systems and make transport calculations in
heterogeneous environments with mixtures of chemicals.
