Selenium contamination of air, aquatic environments, soils and
sediments is a serious environmental concern of increasing
importance. Selenium has a paradoxical feature in bringing about
health benefits under the prescribed level, but only a few fold
increase in its concentration causes deleterious effects to flora
and fauna, humans and the environment. Environmental Technologies
to Treat Selenium Pollution: principles and engineering: - presents
the fundamentals of the biogeochemical selenium cycle and which
imbalances in this cycle result in pollution. - overviews chemical
and biological technologies for successful treatment of selenium
contaminated water, air, soils and sediments. - explores the
recovery of value-added products from selenium laden waste streams,
including biofortication and selenium based nanoparticles and
quantum dots. This book may serve both as an advanced textbook for
undergraduate and graduate students majoring in environmental
sciences, technology or engineering as well as a handbook for
tertiary educators, researchers, professionals and policy makers
who conduct research and practices in selenium related fields. It
is essential reading for consulting companies when dealing with
selenium related environmental (bio)technologies.
Platform Chemical Biorefinery: Future Green Chemistry provides
information on three different aspects of platform chemical
biorefinery. The book first presents a basic introduction to the
industry beneficial for university students, then provides
engineering details of existing or potential platform chemical
biorefinery processes helpful to technical staff of biorefineries.
Finally, the book presents a critical review of the entire platform
chemical biorefinery process, including extensive global
biorefinery practices and their potential environmental and
market-related consequences. Platform chemicals are building blocks
of different valuable chemicals. The book evaluates the possibility
of renewable feedstock-based platform chemical production and the
fundamental challenges associated with this objective. Thus, the
book is a useful reference for both academic readers and industry
technical workers. The book guides the research community working
in the field of platform chemical biorefinery to develop new
pathways and technologies in combination with their market value
and desirability.
