Provides exhaustive coverage of Biochar and its production and
properties. Highlights use of biochar in pollution control and
environment protection. Covers use of agricultural waste /waste
biomass for dye decolorization and degradation. Explores
synergistic approaches for contaminants removal for better insights
into basic and advanced biotechnological applications. Describes
how biochar treatment can be successfully applied for reuse of
wastewater and contaminated soil eco-restoration and environment
protection.
Synergistic Approaches for Bioremediation of Environmental
Pollutants: Recent Advances and Challenges focuses on the
exploitation of various biological treatment technologies and their
use to treat toxic contaminants present in industrial effluent and
in restoring contaminated sites, which lacks in a more
comprehensive manner in existing titles on similar topics available
on the global market. The book comprises advanced biotechnologies
and updated information, along with sustainable waste management
developments and future directions for researchers and scientists
working in the field of microbiology.
This book explores the production and applications of biochar. This
material is used to remove contaminants from industrial effluent
and to reutilize waste sludge in the production of
biofuel/bioenergy. The treatment of wastewater and reuse of waste
sludge in value added products manufacturing and environmental
clean-up is explored. This book provides a roadmap for future
strategies for pollution abatement and sustainable development.
Integrative Strategies for Bioremediation of Environmental
Contaminants, Volume Two: Avenues to a Cleaner Society focuses on
the exploitation of various biological treatment technologies and
their use to treat toxic contaminants present in industrial
effluent to restore contaminated sites. The book includes coverage
of combined treatments of microbes for reuse of wastewater and
contaminated soil to successfully achieve eco-restoration,
environment protection and sustainable development. In 14 chapters,
this reference compiles current and advanced biotechnologies as
well as future directions for research. This is a valuable resource
for researchers in microbiology, biotechnology, environmental
engineering and environmental science, and all those who wish to
broaden their knowledge in the field of applied microbiology to
develop sustainable waste management.
Development in Waste Water Treatment Research and Processes:
Innovative Microbe-Based Applications for Removal of Chemicals and
Metals in Wastewater Treatment Plants focuses on the exploitation
of various biological treatment technologies and their use to treat
toxic and hazardous contaminants present in industrial effluent and
restore the contaminated sites, a topic which lacks discussion in
existing titles on the global market. This book encompasses
advanced technologies and updated information as well as future
directions for young researchers and scientists who are working in
the field of wastewater treatment or effluent treatment plants and
biodegradation of environmental contaminants for environmental
safety and sustainable development.
Parthenium hysterophorus L., an obnoxious weed has been reported as
a main source of nuisance and health hazard to mankind and animals,
threat to biodiversity and danger to environment. Ever since the
Parthenium weed became a menace, efforts are being made to manage
the weed by different methods such as manual, chemical and
biological control methods but so far no single method has been
proved satisfactory as each method suffers from one or more
limitations such as high cost, impracticability, non - target and
residual toxicity etc. Increasing global concern about the
indiscriminate use and hazards of synthetic pesticides has prompted
for exploration of natural plant products (allelochemicals) as
these could be expected to be comparatively safe and ecofriendly.
Unfortunately, task of revealing the role of allelochemicals in
controlling the growth and biochemical pathway of weeds is still
arduous. In view of this fact, this book is prepared and it is
hoped that this book will provide an insight into special features
of the Parthenium plant and its wide adaptability, overall
strategies for developing a viable and workable policy to manage
the weed and minimize its negative effects.
Biochar prepared from agricultural biomass has received
considerable attention because of the huge availability of
ago-waste at zero cost, flexibility, high efficiency, renewability,
faster contaminant removal rate, ability to treat concentrated
effluent and reduction of sludge production after the treatment.
This book on biochar is a comprehensive account of preparation of
biochar from agricultural waste. It provides a roadmap in
development of future strategy for pollution abatement and
sustainable waste management. This book contains up-to-date
information on biochar and its role in environment protection. The
book covers useful information and applications of biochar to
research scholars, academicians, agronomists, scientists and
environmentalist working in the field of environment protection,
bioremediation, waste management and climate change mitigation.
