Modern Approaches in Waste Bioremediation

The book highlights the importance of newly developed bioremediation technologies in industrial waste treatment to clean up the environment from pollution caused by human activities. It assesses the potential application of several existing bioremediation techniques and introduces new emerging and application-based technologies. This technology includes several techniques such as bio-stimulation, bio-generation, bioaccumulation, biosorption, physical correction and rhyming-emission. This book describes the limitations and challenges associated with some generally accepted bioremediation strategies and evaluate the possible applications of these corrective strategies to eliminate toxic pollutants from the environment through integrated Technologies in Industrial wastewater treatment.

Includes new approaches of bioremediation technology for waste minimization Highlights the reuse of treated wastewater through emerging bioremediation technologies Emphasizes the role of nanotechnology in pollutant bioremediation
