Synergistic Approaches for Bioremediation of Environmental Pollutants: Recent Advances and Challenges focuses on the exploitation of various biological treatment technologies and their use to treat toxic contaminants present in industrial effluent and in restoring contaminated sites, which lacks in a more comprehensive manner in existing titles on similar topics available on the global market. The book comprises advanced biotechnologies and updated information, along with sustainable waste management developments and future directions for researchers and scientists working in the field of microbiology.
- Provides wide information to readers on the state-of-the-art in the application of biochar, microbes, and their synergistic use for wastewater/industrial effluent treatment and environment protection
- Summarizes current knowledge on the use of biochar and microbes, even dead biomass, for dye decolorization, degradation and removal of heavy metals which may play a key role in achieving a more productive and sustainable environment
- Explores different aspects of biological methods for contaminants removal for better insights into basic and advanced biotechnological applications
- Includes supplemented tables and figures
