Pulp and Paper Industry: Advanced Technologies in Wastewater Treatment provides detailed discussion on the characteristics, environmental hazards, and human health effects of pulp and paper wastewater. The book discusses their different treatment methods and related challenges. These techniques start from physical methods such as sedimentation and froth flotation, followed by physiochemical treatments including activated carbon filtration, chemical precipitation, as well as biological techniques like aerobic and anaerobic processes. The book also covers application of advanced and novel wastewater treatment techniques in pulp and paper industries, such as ozonation, photocatalysis, advanced oxidation process, electrolysis, microbial fuel cells, etc., as well as challenges of industries, economic assessments, and future perspectives of pulp and paper wastewaters treatments.

Angelo Basile, a Chemical Engineer, is a senior Researcher at the ITM-CNR where is responsible of the research related to both the ultra-pure hydrogen production and CO2 capture using Pd-based Membrane Reactors. Basile is also Editor associate of the Int. J. Hydrogen Energy and Editor-in-chief of the Int. J. Membrane Science & Technol. and Editor-in-chief of Membrane Processes (Applications), a section of the international journal Membranes: Basile also prepared 42 special issues on membrane science and technology for many international journals (IJHE, Chem Eng. J., Cat. Today, etc.). He participated to and was/is responsible of many national and international projects on membrane reactors and membrane science. Basile served as Director of the ITM-CNR during the period Dec. 2008 – May 2009. In the last years, he was tutor of 30 Thesis for master and Ph.D. students at the Chemical Engineering Department of the University of Calabria (Italy). From 2014, Basile is Full Professor of Chemical Engineering Processes.

Alfredo Cassano has worked as a Researcher at CNR-ITM in Italy since 2000. Trained in Biology, he specializes in membrane science and technology, including conventional membrane processes, membrane contactors, and integrated membrane operations used for wastewater treatment and agro-food applications. He has led or directed research through numerous national MIUR-funded projects, as well as European Union international projects and industry collaborations. Cassano contributes to the scientific community through editorial-board roles and has co-authored several books, numerous journal articles, and chapters, alongside conference and invited work, and two national patents. His interests include recovering bioactive compounds from by-products, membrane distillation, osmotic distillation, and wastewater remediation, motivated by bridging membrane technology with practical AI/ML and real-time monitoring to advance circular economy resource recovery.

Parvin Kiani is a research associate at Shiraz University. She graduated in chemical engineering from Shiraz University. Her research has focused on gas separation, clean energy, and catalyst synthesis. In the clean energy field, she has worked experimentally on dry methane reforming processes for hydrogen production from methane. She has also synthesized novel catalysts for this process which are tested for the first time. Recently, she has written various book chapters for famous publishers such as Elsevier and the Royal Society of Chemistry.
