Trickling Filters as Sustainable and Economical Green Environmental Solutions: Impacts on Human Health, and Water Management
暫譯: 作為可持續且經濟的綠色環境解決方案的滲流濾床：對人類健康和水資源管理的影響

這本書提供了一個清晰、權威且以實踐為導向的現代滴流濾池技術指南，將其定位為市政和工業廢水處理的生態、經濟和韌性解決方案。這本書跨越了一個多世紀的創新，展示了為什麼滴流濾池仍然是全球可持續生物處理系統的基石。

通過嚴謹的分析和應用，這本書解釋了生物膜系統基本原則的創新，突顯了它們在多樣氣候和操作條件下實現高效能生物淨化的效率、穩健性和角色。它批判性地檢視了現代滴流濾池系統的經典與現代設計理念、操作策略和過程優化技術。

本書深入探討了綜合處理方法，結合了全球應用的滴流濾池與活性污泥配置，以及結合吸附過程和生物增強的新型混合系統。特別關注新興污染物和微污染物的去除，並以試點規模研究和操作性能數據作為支持。

工業應用通過對食品和飲料廢水的生物塔系統進行詳細討論來解決，而去中心化的資源高效解決方案則通過滴流濾池與厭氧消化的組合進行探索。本書進一步評估設計參數、運營成本、性能指標和未來發展路徑，將滴流濾池技術與循環經濟概念、水資源重用策略和可持續發展目標聯繫起來，並與中東和北非地區相關。

通過回顧理論模型和當前研究趨勢，本書將工程實踐與公共健康保護和可持續水治理相連接。它是學術界、實踐工程師、決策者、監管機構和研究生的重要參考資料，對於全球從事環境工程和水資源管理的專業人士同樣具有價值。
