Bioremediation addresses the increasingly important topic of waste treatment. Focusing on microbiological degradation of contaminants, it offers a representative picture of the current status of environmental biotechnology and lays a solid
foundation of the methods and applications of bioremediation. The expert presentations of case studies in this new book
demonstrate successful treatment schemes and technologies meeting regulatory standards. These case studies represent an
international cross-section of strategies for developing and implementing the evolving technologies of bioremediation. Biotechnology in Industrial Waste Treatment and Bioremediation examines the primary waste streams, including air, water,
soils, and sediments, and explores specific treatment methodologies for industrial and environmental contaminants. This
broad and unique coverage allows treatment firms and regulatory authorities to determine and develop appropriate treatment strategies for site-specific problems of waste remediation. The observations and successful field applications compiled in Biotechnology in Industrial Waste Treatment and Bioremediation make it an excellent reference for understanding, evaluating, developing, and operating efficient and
cost-effective full-scale treatment systems.
