Biotechnologies for Wastewater Treatment and Resource Recovery: Current Trends and Future Scope

Biotechnologies for Wastewater Treatment and Resource Recovery: Current Trends and Future Scope presents the most up-to-date insights into the water crisis stemming from wastewater production. Edited by experts in the field, the chapters are structured around different types of bioremediation approaches (phytoremediation, myco-remediation, bio-stimulation, bio-augmentation, rhizoremediation, etc.) all applied in the context of wastewater treatment. This comprehensive resource equips students, research scholars, and policy makers with a holistic understanding of wastewater treatment and resource recovery through bioremediation techniques. Abundant real-world applications and case studies empower readers to make well-informed decisions, ensuring the efficient utilization of energy and efforts in addressing this critical issue. Covers a thorough analysis of various bioremediation approaches such as: phytoremediation, myco-remediation, bio-stimulation, bio-augmentation, rhizoremediation, etc.Offers the most up-to-date information on integrated wastewater treatment using biological and physicochemical methodsIncludes case studies on bioremediation of domestic/industrial wastewater for the elimination of heavy metals/emerging water contaminants/pesticides/microplastics among others INDICE: 1.
