This book covers the available advanced knowledge of biodegradation and bioremediation of various environmental pollutants which are a challenge to researchers in the field of sustainable development. Although bioremediation and biodegradation processes are typically implemented in larger scales, this book addresses various aspects of environmental microbiology and biotechnology, with chapters devoted to abatement of pollutants generated by agriculturally contaminated soil and plastic waste from various industries. Special emphasis is placed on the role of bioreactors for industrial waste water treatment.

Zielgruppe

This book is intended for students and researchers interested in solid waste/waste water management. It would also be useful to students and researchers studying environmental sciences/engineering/biotechnology, biodegradation or bioprocess engineering and to related industry professionals.
