Forest Industry Wastewaters VI : Selected Proceedings of the 6th IAWQ International Symposium on Forest Industry Wastewaters, Held in Tampere, Finland, 6-10 June, 1999

The sustainable management of the Forest Industries challenges many different disciplines. Not only do the different forest industry sectors vary in the approaches needed, but the unique nature of mills and their surrounding environments create a huge variety of conditions and hence of strategies to be employed. Yet again the IAWQ's Forest Industry Wastewaters Symposium provided a forum for the world's leading experts to discuss the scientific and practical issues and report progress. The proceedings are introduced by 4 invited papers that examine the social, economic and ecological relationships of the forest industries and together with the concluding summary of the sessions and related panel discussion make plain the context in which the industries operate and can continue to improve their performance. The 42 selected papers cover: Process water treatment and recirculation Biological treatment Environmental effects Treatment and utilization of solids Studies of specific compounds and management of residuals and toxicity. These proceedings genuinely constitute a briefing on the state of the art and will prove invaluable to anyone involved as a researcher or a practitioner in the management of forest industry wastewaters.
