The book covers applied and recently developed integrated technologies to solve five major trends in the field of wastewater treatment, including nutrient removal and resource recovery, recalcitrant organic and inorganic compounds detoxification, energy saving, and biofuel and bioenergy production for environmental sustainability.
The book provides future directions to young researchers, scientists and professionals who are working in the field of bioremediation and phytoremediation to remediate wastewater pollutants at laboratory and field scale, for sustainable development.
- Illustrates the importance of various advanced oxidation processes in effluent treatment plants
- Describes underlying mechanisms of constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell technologies for the degradation and detoxification of emerging organic and inorganic contaminants discharged in wastewater
- Highlights the reuse and recycling of wastewater and recovery of value-added resources from wastewater
- Focuses on recent advances and challenges in integrated environmental technologies, constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell, microbial electrochemical-constructed wetlands, biofilm reactor-constructed wetland, and anammox- microbial fuel cell technology for sustainable development
- Illustrates the importance of microbes and plants in bio/phytoremediation and wastewater treatment
Researchers, Biochemical Engineers, Microbiologists and Biotechnologists, Environmental Engineers, Waste Treatment Engineers and Managers, Environmental Health and Risk Scientists, Environmental Scientists, Administrators, and Policy Makers, Environmental Consultants, Industry Persons and Students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels who aspire to work on the remediation of toxic contaminants from wastewater for sustainable development
