Advances in Biological Wastewater Treatment Systems covers different recent advanced technologies, including green technologies, for biological wastewater treatment and wastewater reuse. The technologies involve novel biological processes and/or modified processes coupled with nano materials for improving the performance of the existing treatment processes. The book also describes treatment strategies for the current pollution from complex organic matter, nutrients, toxic substances, micro plastics and emerging micro pollutants in different water resources. The treatment processes describe the recent developed technologies for wastewater treatment and reuse such as biological nutrient removal, bioreactors, photobioreactors, membrane bioreactors, wetlands, algae-bacteria process, natural treatments, integrated/hybrid bio systems, etc. The novel bio systems include aerobic, anaerobic, facultative operation modes with various of types of microorganisms.

Dinh Duc Nguyen
Dr. D. Duc Nguyen completed his Bachelor of Environmental Engineering in Department of Environmental Engineering at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Vietnam (Apr. 2005) and received a scholarship to come to Dankook University, South Korea to pursue a Master degree (Feb. 2011) and subsequently a PhD degree (Feb. 2014) of Energy and Environmental Engineering. Prior to joining academia, Nguyen had participated and developed in many industrial projects (research, consultant, design, construction, operation, and transfer technology) in the field of environmental engineering in both nationally and internationally. Nguyen has been invited for working at Department of Environmental Energy Engineering, Kyonggi University, South Korea as a Res. Prof. since early 2016, and from Dec. 2017 until present Dr Nguyen has been promoted to Asst. Prof. at the same University. So far, he is the author/co-author of over 140 peer reviewed articles and PI of three national research projects ($USD 700K). His current research interests are focused: i) integrated anaerobic digestion of waste biomasses for the generation of renewable energy, ii) hybrid biological process for wastewater treatment, nutrient removal and recovery, iii) preparation/synthesis of novel nanoparticles, composite materials and biochar for applications in the environmental remediation and chemical industry. He is also conducting research and development to commercial design products based research finding, for environmental companies and organizations.
