This book explores microbial biodegradation and its role in bioremediation, addressing the increasing complexity of toxic waste. It covers principles of biodegradation, aerobic processes, and microbial community dynamics, offering insights for researchers, postgraduate students, and bioremediation experts on sustainable pollution management.
This book explores phytonanotechnology's role in removing environmental pollutants through plant-derived nanoparticles. It discusses advancements, applications, and challenges in combining nanotechnology with phytoremediation. The text highlights strategies for efficient heavy metal removal and serves as a resource for students and researchers in environmental and materials science.
For Industrial Wastewater Treatment
Current use of the ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) within biological wastewater treatment system is incomplete due to limitations of current culture-based techniques. This book offers an overview of new nitrification technologies via the use of AOB in the removal of ammonia nitrogen from wastewater. The application of new approaches based on AOB leads to greater ammonia nitrogen removal and results in more efficient wastewater treatment.
This book explores how bioremediation biotechnology is used to remove pollutants in wastewater. Remediation of wastewater is important to ensure that pollutants generated in industry do not effect our environment negatively. Traditional wastewater remediation is not a sustainable process, however by using biological means the sustainability can be improved. Both conventional methods and bioremediation technologies are discussed. Applications for heavy metal, nitrate, and petroleum bioremediation, nanotechnology in bioremediation, and more are explored.
A Paradox of Nature with Biotechnological Implications
This series discusses the recent advances in water and wastewater treatment research and processes covering bio-remediation, bio-degradation, molecular approaches and electro-biochemical strategies. It also evaluates the possible applications of these corrective strategies to remove toxic pollutants from the environment. The series describes the limitations and challenges of wastewater treatments. In addition, it covers various advanced and innovative technologies to remove toxic and hazardous pollutants present in wastewater in a sustainable manner. Moreover, it considers the application of mathematical modelling and different emerging molecular tools to wastewater treatment. Particular attention is given to water reuse and recovery of added-value products from wastewater since it would contribute to a circular and bio-based economy. Editor-in-Chief Maulin P.
