Drying and Evaporation Processes

  • Chapter
Water Resources and Natural Control Processes

Part of the book series: Handbook of Environmental Engineering ((HEE,volume 4))

Abstract

Water removal from municipal and industrial effluent streams constitutes an important step in wastewater and sludge treatment. The purpose of such treatment is to concentrate, separate, dispose, or utilize wastes and pollutants and to regenerate and return clean water to the environment. In this context, the discussion here will be limited only to industrial and municipal sludge dewatering, evaporation, and drying.
