Physicochemical and Physical Treatment of Pollutants and Wastes

  • Chapter

Abstract

Interest in the treatment of pollutants and wastes is not new. For example, the summary report of the papers presented at the Division of Water, Sewage and Sanitation Chemistry at the American Chemical Society National Meeting nearly a century ago (in 1925), stated:

“Probably the greatest interest was shown in connection with the papers concerned with the treatment and disposal of industrial wastes. The proper disposal of such wastes is becoming of increasing importance, and there is no doubt but that many developments may be expected along this line in the near future.”
