Sustainable Water and Wastewater Processing covers the 12 most current topics in the field of sustainable water processing, with emphasis given to water as a resource (quality, supply, distribution, and aquifer recharge). Topics covered include emerging sustainable technologies for potable and wastewater treatment, water reuse and recycling, advanced membrane processes, desalination technologies, integrated and hybrid technologies, process modeling, advanced oxidative and catalytic processes, environmentally, economically and socially sustainable technology for water treatment, industrial water treatment, reuse and recovery of materials, and emerging nanotechnology and biotechnology for water processing.

Responding to the goals of sustainability requires the maximum utilization of all water resources, water processing with restricted energy costs and reduced greenhouse gas production. Following these trends, this book covers all the important aspects of sustainable water processing and support.

1. Water as a resource – quality, supply, distribution, and aquifer recharge 2. Advanced desalination technologies 3.

Nanotechnology for water processing 10. Biotechnology for water processing 11. Water Reuse and Recycling 12. Industrial and agroindustrial wastewater treatment and reuse 13. Water recondition in the food processing industry 14. Advanced membrane processes

Dr. Galanakis is an interdisciplinary scientist. He is the research and innovation director of Galanakis Laboratories (Chania, Greece) and the coordinator of the Food Waste Recovery Group of the ISEKI-Food Association (Vienna, Austria). He serves as an expert evaluator and monitor of international and regional funded programs and proposals, whereas he is an editorial board member and subject editor of Food and Bioproducts Processing and Food Research International. He has edited nine books and published ~100 articles
Dr. Agrafioti is an engineering consultant with a field of expertise spanning across environmental engineering, water and wastewater treatment, waste management, risk management and critical infrastructure security. Dr. Agrafioti is also an academic instructor at the Technical University of Crete, where she teaches topics in “Physical processes for water and wastewater treatment” and in “Occupational Health & Safety” for the School of Environmental Engineering. She holds a Ph.D and M.Sc. in Environmental Engineering and a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering. She has participated in several scientific and organizing committees of scientific events and serves regularly as a reviewer of academic journals. Since 2013, Dr. Agrafioti has participated as a principal researcher in several EU programs (FP7, LiFE+, MED, COST).
