Rapid industrialization has resulted in the generation of huge
quantities of hazardous waste, both solid and liquid. Despite
regulatory guidelines and pollution control measures, industrial
waste is being dumped on land and discharged into water bodies
without adequate treatment. This gross misconduct creates serious
environmental and public health hazards. Environmental Waste
Management promotes the proper management and utilization of
industrial waste, delivering in-depth, state-of-the-art information
on the physicochemical properties, chemical composition, and
environmental risks associated with industrial waste from the
sugar, pulp and paper, tanning, distilling, textile, petroleum
hydrocarbon, and agrochemical sectors. Featuring contributions from
environmental microbiology and biotechnology experts from various
universities, national research laboratories, and industries, this
book: Covers biocomposting of pressmud, treatment of pulp and paper
mill wastewater, biodegradation of agrochemicals, and bioenergy
production from industrial waste for safe recycling Examines
persistent organic pollutants (POPs) discharged from industrial
waste, emphasizing the relationship of metagenomics with POPs
present in sugarcane molasses-based distillery waste and pulp paper
mill wastewater after secondary treatment Discusses bioreactors for
industrial wastewater treatment, biotransformation and
biodegradation of organophosphates and organohalides in the
environment by different bacterial populations, and
metallothioneins for metal homeostasis and tolerance Environmental
Waste Management provides students, scientists, and researchers of
biotechnology, microbiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology
with a specialized collection of cutting-edge industrial waste
management and pollutant monitoring techniques.
