1st Edition
Bioenergy and Environmental Biotechnology for Sustainable Development
This book covers a range of important topics on environmental remediation, biofuels and value-added microbial products for environmental clean-up, water and wastewater recycling and sustainable wastewater treatment using microalgae. Designed to document advances in biotechnology, this book highlights bio-resource utilization in fostering low-carbon renewable energy-based economies and provides new insights into chlorine disinfectant usage in water treatment, wastewater treatment using microalgae, etc. The book will be useful reference material for scientists and researchers in the fields of microbial biotechnology and bioremediation, environmental biotechnology and sustainable development, climate change mitigation, provision of safe water and sustainable wastewater recycling.
- Emphasizes recent advances in bioremediation techniques towards environmental sustainability
- Provides detailed information on how to harness indigenous bio-resources including microorganisms as bioenhancement agents for environmental remediation
- Introduces new frontiers in the area of wastewater treatment using microalgae — important for sustainability and water safety
- Reviews biotechniques that could enhance higher levels of sustainability in heavily polluted environments and also provides an intelligent monitoring system for waste recycling and environmental remediation, and fostering a low-carbon renewable energy–based bioeconomy
- Discusses the need for review of existing guidelines on chlorine disinfectant usage for enhanced water quality
