Auteur

Dr Imran Ahmad has completed his PhD at MJIIT, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. He worked on the treatment of restaurant wastewater containing FOG using Chlorella vulgaris in a bubble column photobioreactor. Ahmad specialises in the cultivation and valorisation of freshwater microalgal species in a variety of environments, particularly wastewater. He has published his work in peer-reviewed journals and book chapters and attended and presented at about 29 international conferences. Ahmad received the best presentation award at six international conferences. In 2021, he was awarded an Algae Industry Incubation Consortium (AIIC) grant, a Japan grant, and a My Membrane award in Malaysia. He was also the recipient of the Young Scholars grant awarded by the School of Postgraduate Studies, UTM. Ahmad has eight years of experience teaching in AICTE-accredited engineering colleges in India. Ahmad has student memberships in the International Society for Applied Phycology (ISAP), International Water Association (IWA), Northeast Algal Society (NEAS), Ecological Society of America (ESA), British Phycological Society, and Northeast Algal Society (NEAS). Professor Dr Nadeem Khalil is an Environmental Engineer with a PhD from IIT Delhi, M. Tech (Env Engineering) & B.Tech (Civil Engg) from AMU. From 2016 to present, he is working as a Professor in the Department of Civil Engg AMU. His research interests are mainly focussed on novel wastewater treatment technologies & processes, energy from biomass (short-rotation forestry), and waste management. Most of his research activities are in collaboration with leading international institutions, with funding from national and international agencies like European Union, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), 2030 WRG, Department of Science & Technology, and Central Pollution Control Board, Government of India. He has successfully completed major collaborative research projects like SWINGS (Indo-Euro Water Technology Programme within FP7 Framework) & others and currently holding another large research project "PAVITR" (HORIZON2020) with partners from EU and India. He has an excess of 25 paper publications, 6 doctoral students under his guidance, and has supervised more than 25 PG dissertations. Besides teaching and research, he is also actively involved and associated with industry, government agencies, and ministries in India and abroad for providing technical advice and consultancy in the field of Environmental Engineering, STPs, Waste Management, and Lake Conservation Projects. He is one of the panel advisors for National Mission for Clean Ganga, and National Lakes Conservation Directorate. He has also served as Co-Director of Indo-US Collaboration STEM ER Centre at AMU during 2018-2019. He is also acting as Member Secretary cum Principal Investigator for SPV within the institution for Smart City Projects (Aligarh Agra Bareilly) and also for several STP Projects across the country for JNVs etc.

Résumé

Currently, most of the physical and chemical technologies generally employed for the treatment of wastewater are costly and inefficient. Researchers have been working to find green technologies for the sustainable and economically viable treatment methods for wastewater, and Green Technologies for Wastewater Treatment and Bioenergy Production focuses on these latest advancements. These include bioremediation, bioaugmentation, wetlands, and algal treatment technologies, which are considered to contribute toward a circular bioeconomy and to be crucial in attaining various sustainable development goals.

• Examines the production of biofuels and other forms of bioenergy derived from wastewater.
• Explains how these emerging green technologies contribute toward a circular bioeconomy and aid in achieving various sustainable development goals.
