working toward environmental sustainability.
Achieving environmental sustainability with rapid industrialization
is a major challenge of current scenario worldwide. As globally
evident, industries are the key economic drivers, but are also the
major polluters as untreated/partially treated effluents discharged
from the industries is usually thrown into the aquatic resources
and also dumped unattended. Industrial effluents are considered as
the major sources of environmental pollution as these contains
highly toxic and hazardous pollutants, which reaches far off areas
due to the medium of dispersion and thus, create ecological
nuisance and health hazards in living beings. Hence, there is an
urgent to find ecofriendly solution to deal with industrial waste,
and develop sustainable methods for treating/detoxifying wastewater
before its release into the environment. Being a low cost and
eco-friendly clean technology, bioremediation can be a sustainable
alternative to conventional remediation technologies for treatment
and management of industrial wastes to protect public health and
environment. Therefore, this book (Volume I) covers the
bioremediation of different industrial wastes viz. tannery
wastewater, pulp and paper mill wastewater, distillery wastewater,
acid mine tailing wastes, and many more; which are lacking in a
comprehensive manner in previous literature at one place. A
separate chapter dedicated to major industries and type of waste
produced by them is also included. This book will appeal to
students, researchers, scientists, industry persons and
professionals in field of microbiology, biotechnology,
environmental sciences, eco-toxicology, environmental remediation
and waste management and other relevant areas, who aspire to work
on the biodegradation and bioremediation of industrial wastes for
environmental safety.
Achieving environmental sustainability with rapid industrialization
is currently a major global challenge. Industries are the key
economic drivers, but are also the main polluters as
untreated/partially treated effluents from industry are usually
discharged into the aquatic environment or dumped. Industrial
effluents often contain highly toxic and hazardous pollutants,
which cause ecological damage and present and health hazards to
living beings. As such, there is a pressing need to find
ecofriendly solutions to deal with industrial waste, and to develop
sustainable methods for treating/detoxifying waste before it's
released into the environment. As a low cost and eco-friendly clean
technology, bioremediation can offer a sustainable alternative to
conventional remediation technologies for the treatment and
management of industrial wastes. This book (Volume II) describes
the role of biological agents in the degradation and detoxification
of organic and inorganic pollutants in industrial wastes, and
presents recent bioremediation approaches for waste treatment and
management, such as constructed wetlands, electro- bioremediation
and nano-bioremediation, as well as microbial fuel cells. It
appeals to students, researchers, scientists, industry
professionals and experts in the field of microbiology,
biotechnology, environmental sciences, eco-toxicology,
environmental remediation and waste management and other relevant
areas who are interested in biodegradation and bioremediation of
industrial wastes for environmental safety.
This book focuses on the toxicity of various organic and inorganic
