The Practical Handbook of Compost Engineering presents an in-depth examination of the principles and practice of modern day composting. This comprehensive book covers compost science, engineering design, operation, principles, and practice, stressing a fundamental approach to analysis throughout. Biological, physical, chemical, thermodynamic, and kinetic principles are covered to develop a unified analytical approach to analysis and an understanding of the process. A brief history of the development of composting systems, which leads to descriptions of modern processes, is presented. The Practical Handbook of Compost Engineering also discusses the elements of successful odor management at composting facilities, including state-of-the-art odor treatment and enhanced atmospheric dispersion. The book is excellent for all engineers, practitioners, plant operators, scientists, researchers, and students in the field.

The increasing concern for odour abatement, and more generally for reduction of air pollution, has caused a rapid growth in the development of air pollution control techniques, several of which are based on biological degradation of the polluting compounds. This book presents a state-of-the-art overview of recent developments in biological techniques for air pollution control. It describes in detail processes for the prevention of odour nuisances and reduction of odour emissions. It also deals with process design and construction of equipment as well as with odour policy measurements at an international level.

Volume six of the proceedings considers the application of chemical oxidation to environmental problems, particularly treating wastewater, groundwater, hazardous waste, and air. Among the 22 topics are the design of an advanced oxidation process for decolorizing reactive dye waste using Fenton's reagent, a comparison of chlorine and bromine for chemical oxidation and disinfection, chlorine dioxide for disinfecting secondary effluent, oxidizing secondary alcohols and sulfides by halamine polymers, the wet-air oxidation of phenolic compounds, and the catalyzed chemical oxidation of VOCs.

FROM THE PREFACE The main objective of composting is to transform organic materials into a stable usable product. Often organic materials which may have limited beneficial use in their raw state or have regulatory disposal constraints can be transformed by composting into marketable products. The limits on beneficial reuse may be regulations or they may be due to the potential for materials to be putrescible or pathogenic. Composting can be a solution for each of these. The implementation of composting on a large scale (in contrast to home or backyard composting) involves materials handling. Technological implementation of composting must be consistent with the biological demand of the system. If the biological system is violated, conditions will not be optimized for composting, and problems such as odor generation, insufficient aeration or moisture, or a combination of these conditions may result. Past problems and closure of facilities have been largely due to violations of the biological systems. Product quality with respect to particle size, inclusions, moisture content and other physical aspects are a function of engineering design. A well designed system must have the biological and engineering principles in harmony at all times.

Intended as a practical reference for professionals involved in managing air emissions from wastewater systems, this work examines practical topics related to odor control and potentially toxic air emissions control. Chapters cover characteristics and measurement of odor and toxic air emissions, relevant regulations and policies, potential emission sources, control strategies, containment and ventilation from treatment facilities, and public communications. A number of chapters deal address gas-phase treatment techniques. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
