This contribution deals with the technologies usually adopted for the treatment of wastewaters produced in major industrial sectors. After an overview of conventional and nonconventional technologies, wastewaters produced in the food processing and textile industries were investigated. By means of numerous case studies, several aspects such as wastewater characteristics, treatment technologies, main process parameters, and performance in terms of pollutant removals were investigated in depth. Furthermore, the two approaches to the issue of industrial wastewater treatment named Start-of-pipe and End-of-pipe were presented and discussed using the results of the recent European Commission “AquaFit4Use” project.

Abstract
This contribution deals with the technologies usually adopted for the treatment of wastewaters produced in major industrial sectors. After an overview of conventional and nonconventional technologies, wastewaters produced in the food processing and textile industries were investigated. By means of numerous case studies, several aspects such as wastewater characteristics, treatment technologies, main process parameters, and performance in terms of pollutant removals were investigated in depth. Furthermore, the two approaches to the issue of industrial wastewater treatment named Start-of-pipe and End-of-pipe were presented and discussed using the results of the recent European Commission “AquaFit4Use” project.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
