inorganics.
3. Engineering practice and actual case studies which
consider economics, public opinion, personality
differences, local laws or customs, and previous
community experience to help the reader put theories
into practice.

arsenic, nickel and copper are related to pH and
precipitant levels.

Mytelka A. I., Journal of the Water Pollution Control
Federation, Vol. 45, No. 9, p. 1859, (September, 1973).
The Interstate Sanitation Commission routinely
analyzes the metals removal capability of municipal
wastewater treatment plants within its jurisdiction.
This article presents the results from some of these
analyses.
F-89 "Treatment of Mixed Sewage and Textile Finishing Wastes
on Trickling Filters and Activated Sludge," Gibson F.
M. and J. H. Wiedman, Proceedings of the 17th Industrial
Waste Conference (1962), Purdue University.
Pilot studies were conducted at the Greater Green-
ville Sewer District, South Carolina, to determine the
treatability of combined textile wastes and domestic
sewage. The economy of treatment and the relationships
between removals and pH and alkalinity were also studied.
F-90 "Treatability of Oily Wastewater from Food Processing
and Soap Manufacture," McCarty P. L. et. al., Proceedings
of the 27th Industrial Waste Conference (1972),Purdue
University, p.867.
Laboratory investigations were conducted to deter-
mine the treatability of pure fatty substances and selected
industrial wastes from a Proctor and Gamble complex in
Cincinnati, Ohio. The removal efficiency of the treat-
ment plant and the effect of the wastes on the activated
sludge and anaerobic digestion processes are reported
in this article.
F-91 "Amenability of a Mixture of Sewage, Cereal and Board
Mill Wastes to Biological Treatment," Quirk, Thomas P.,
Proceedings of the 13th Industrial Waste Conference
(1958), Purdue University, p. 523.
This article presents the results of a laboratory
scale study to investigate the feasibility of treating
a mixture of industrial wastes and domestic sewage
by activated sludge. The oxygen transfer rates observed,
the process loading removal characteristics, the oxygen
demand rates, the required detention times and the sludge
handling characteristics are also discussed.

Nemerow N. L. and R. Armstrong, Water and Wastes
Engineering, Vol. 6, No. 7, p. D-6 (July, 1969).
The results of laboratory experiments are pre-
sented, which indicate that activated sludge, or a
modification of the process, can be utilized to treat
combined tannery and domestic wastes.
F-93 Removal of Heavy Metals by Conventional Treatment,
Logsdon G. S. and J. M. Symons, reprinted from
U. S. EPA Region II Report #902/9-74-001 (Traces of
Heavy Metals in Water, Removal and Monitoring).
This paper summarizes the research that has been
conducted at the NERC laboratory in Cincinnati on removal
of trace inorganic substances by water treatment processes.
Among the chemicals discussed are methyl mercury,
inorganic mercury, barium, selenates, selenites, arsenites
and arsenates.
