Description
Book SynopsisThis book focuses on green and innovative wastewater treatment technologies that promote sustainability. It discusses a variety of biological, physical, and chemical treatment technologies. It covers biological processes for recovery of value-added products from wastewater and gives an overview of enzymatic hydrolysis and bioremediation of wastewater using immobilized enzyme and fungus. It offers a case study and future trends of wastewater treatment through membrane bioreactor technologies, describes advanced chemicalphysical processes for recalcitrant pollutant, and emphasizes the use of low-cost materials and cost-effective treatment methods.
Trade Review"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."
