Engineers in various fields assemble the already available technologies for removing and recovering nutrients, primarily nitrogen and phosphorus, from industrial wastewater and using them where they are needed, primarily farming. Their topics include biogeochemical cycles of nitrogen and
phosphorus: implications of anthropogenic activities, chemical and biological processes for removing and recovering nutrients, fundamentals of biological processes for nitrogen removal, constructed wetlands for industrial wastewater treatment and removal of nutrients, aerobic granular sludge: treating wastewaters containing toxic compounds, and treating landfill leachate by the anommox process.

Written for an academic audience, the book is enhanced by generous use of headings and subheadings for ease of navigation. Tables, charts, and visual illustrations supplement explanations while key terms and definitions assist reader understanding of technical terms. The book concludes with a compilation of references and a professionally prepared master index. Recommended.
