Fixed-film Biological Processes for Wastewater Treatment (Edited by Y. C. Wu and E. D. Smlth) 1963, 493 pp., $46.00 Noyes. ISBN O-6155-0963-4. Fixed-film biological processes are among the most effective and economical technologies for wastewater treatment. They produce high quality effluents with reduced levels of organic and inorganic degradation products and suspended solids. As a result of increased water pollution regulations, there has been renewed interest in fixedfilm techniques as a means of pollution abatement. Two conferences were conducted, in 1980 and 1982, to define the state of the art and future research needs in the field of fixed-film biological processes. This book contains selected papers from these conferences plus additional studies, which provide an excellent review of fixed-film processes - trickling filters employing either rock or plastic media, trickling filter/activated sludge combinations, biological towers, rotating biological contactors, and aerobic and anaerobic filter systems.

ISBN 0-6155-0960-2 This handbook presents the latest techniques for the commercial production of chemicals and pharmaceuticals via fermentation. Emphasis is given to unit operations - fermentation, separation, purification, process design and equipment are detailed. The practical aspects of development, design, and operation are stressed, and some theory is included to provide the necessary insight for a particular operation. CONTENTS: S. J.
