Summary
Summary
Industrial researchers from Azerbaijan and Russia provide an overview of the technology available for the treatment of municipal waste water for use in thermal and nuclear power plants, a form of recycling generally neglected, probably for aesthetic--rather than technical or economic--reasons. They consider the classification of the different pollutants, the sanitary and hygienic problems, and how the water treatment and energy generation technologies can be interconnected. They also present some possible project designs. A basic introduction to the subject for engineers engaged in either waste water treatment or power generation. No bibliography.

Choice Review
A highly technical treatise on the industrial exploitation of polished municipal waste water for large- and small-scale power generation plants and for the chemical and metallurgical industries. As the first Soviet publication in the field of wastewater reuse for the generation of power, the book represents a significant contribution in the conservation, protection, and utilization of natural fresh water resources. Although many problems of water-chemical regimes remain to be solved, particularly where high temperatures are encountered as in thermal and atomic power stations, the main principles of treating municipal wastewater have been worked out sufficiently well to form the basis for this book. Liberally sprinkled with figures, tables, and equations, the book is recommended for scientists and engineers concerned with the tertiary treatment of municipal wastewater to produce highly treated water for industrial use.
