Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology is a wastewater treatment method combining biological pollutant treatment with physical membrane separation. It has gained increasing commercial significance over the last decade, with applications in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment becoming increasingly widespread. MBR technology is mostly taught as part of biological wastewater treatment and membrane technology courses for senior undergraduates or graduates; however, there are very few textbooks covering this important topic. This textbook describes state-of-the-art MBR technology, principles of MBR, and design and operation of the plants.

A Mechanistic Approach
Physical Chemistry for Engineering and Applied Sciences
Penny Chaloner
Frank R. Foulkes
Imperial College, London, UK
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
This textbook classifies organic chemistry according to mechanism rather than classification of functional groups, with the intention of having students understand by means of problem solving. The emphasis is on the development of skills through a student-centered pedagogical approach. The inclusion of chromatography, spectroscopy, and spectrometry early in the book is an important concept. The book contains the customary chapters on biomolecules, but also presents chapters on industrially important processes and their economics, and environmental chemistry, areas in which every twenty-first-century-educated scientist should have familiarity.
This book is the result of more than 30 years of teaching by the author of a one-semester course in physical chemistry to first-year students at the University of Toronto. The enrollment varied from 300 to 800 students per year over the years. The book is unique in that it provides the detailed development of the equations, which can be followed relatively easily even with only moderate mathematical skills and backgrounds. The book provides interesting and inspiring examples, as well as many problems and solutions.

Applied Mathematical Methods for Chemical Engineers Third Edition Norman W. Loney New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, USA
Many of the problems that engineers face involve randomly varying phenomena of one sort or another. But if characterized properly, even such randomness and the resulting uncertainty are subject to rigorous mathematical analysis. This book provides students with a fundamental understanding of random phenomena and a working knowledge of how to model and analyze such phenomena. It explains how to use probability and statistics appropriately to deal with uncertainty in engineering problems. Basing his approach on the principle of theoretical foundations before application, Dr. Ogunnaike presents a classroomtested course of study for understanding, characterizing, modeling, and quantifying randomly varying phenomena.
This book focuses on the application of mathematics to chemical engineering and addresses the setup and verification of mathematical models using experimental or other independently derived data. An expanded and updated version of its well-respected predecessor, this book uses worked examples to illustrate several mathematical methods that are essential in successfully solving process engineering problems. The book provides an introduction to differential equations common to chemical engineering, followed by examples of first-order and linear second-order ordinary differential equations. Later chapters examine Sturm– Liouville problems, Fourier series, integrals, linear partial differential equations, and regular perturbation.
