Reviews

The book includes a balanced list of items concerning various consolidated and innovative wastewater treatment technologies, useful to both scientists and environmental engineers. Exhaustive literature data analysis, detailed description of research achievements and application of the proposed approaches to 'real' case studies are of potential concern to scientific and technological operators involved in design-upgrading of green and efficient water management policies. -Francesco Arena, University of Messina, Italy

Author Information

Dr. Zainura Zainon Noor is Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. She embarked on her career in UTM in 1999 as a research officer in a chemical engineering pilot plant prior to joining the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Natural Resources two years later. A well-trained chemical engineer specializing in environmental engineering, Dr, Zainura is an intrinsically passionate and driven individual towards finding greener and eco-friendly solutions. Through her relentless interest, years of academic study as well as conducive research and consultation activities, Dr. Zainura has established and strengthened her expertise in green technology, including cleaner production, life cycle assessment (LCA), water and carbon footprints, greenhouse gas inventory and projection as well as sustainable development. She is an accomplished project manager and is currently leading the Green Technology Research Group (Green Tech RG) at one of UTM's prominent centers of excellence, Center of Sustainable Environment and Water Security (IPASA). Recognizing her expertise in Green Technology, in 2009, Department of Environment (DOE) Malaysia appointed her to develop the Cleaner Production Module, which was later on used as the training module for the department’s officers from all over Malaysia. Recently, she was selected by the Malaysian Government (under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment) as a consultant for the development of Malaysia Environmental Performance Index (EPI). She is also an appointed committee member of the Green Technology Focus Group (Sustainable Solid Waste) under the Ministry of Green Technology, Energy and Water. Dr. Zainura is also a renowned speaker and has given talks in numerous seminars, workshops and short courses at both national and international levels. Dr. Zainura received her PhD and MS degrees from Newcastle University, UK, and BE degree from Vanderbilt University. Noor Salehan Moh
