Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Biological Treatment of Industrial Effluents

Provides extensive coverage of new developments, state-of-the-art technologies, and potential future trends in data-based scientific knowledge and advanced information on the role and application of environmental biotechnology and engineering in the treatment of industrial effluents.

These treatment processes have been broadly classified under aerobic and anaerobic processes which determines the scope and level of pollutant removal. Chapters in this volume review the most recent developments and perspectives at different environmental cleanup operation scales.

• Outlines available biochemical processes for the treatment of solid industrial waste
• Covers aerobic and anaerobic treatments, their mechanisms, and selection criteria
• Highlights specific industrial applications, such as anammox processes
