Since water use is inextricably linked to energy use, however, we face significant challenges. Water plays an essential role in many, if not most, manufacturing facilities. In a world facing a water-scarcity crisis, much research and development currently focuses on decreasing industries’ water-use footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compendium volume looks briefly at several select industries and investigates various water treatment processes for each, including microbial biotechnologies, ozone-related processes, adsorption, and photochemical reactions, among others. The various industries are organized into four groups:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndustries that produce petrochemicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal industries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe semi-conductor industry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe paper and pulp industries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollected by a well-respected expert in the field, the studies gathered here are intended to be a starting point for further investigation by graduate students and other scientific researchers.
