The concept of Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) is gaining significant attention in the field of sustainable wastewater management as a crucial approach to address the challenges posed by industrial waste streams. ZLD aims to minimize the discharge of liquid waste into water bodies, promoting cleaner and more environmentally friendly practices. This comprehensive book provides a fundamental and in-depth understanding of the need for ZLD, as well as conventional and modern technologies available for achieving it.

The book covers a wide range of wastewater treatment technologies that lead to ZLD, including physical, chemical, and biological processes. It also explores integrated wastewater treatment approaches, which combine different treatment methods to optimize water quality and reduce waste generation.

One of the key challenges faced by industries in meeting ZLD goals is the treatment of complex and toxic waste streams. The book discusses innovative solutions and technologies that can effectively treat these waste streams, such as advanced oxidation processes, membrane bioreactors, and chemical precipitation.

Furthermore, the book presents the state-of-the-art technologies and multidisciplinary research underway in the field to address existing challenges and provide future directions. These include the development of new materials and technologies for wastewater treatment, as well as the exploration of alternative energy sources and sustainable waste management practices.

This book will be an invaluable resource for postgraduate students in environmental science and engineering, as well as high-level researchers, professors, experts, and engineers who conduct research and practices in the area of zero liquid discharge (ZLD) approaches, sustainable wastewater management, and related fields. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the latest developments and advancements in the field, enabling professionals to contribute to the development of more sustainable and environmentally friendly industrial practices.
