This book features the reduction and removal of selenium in wastewater via bioremediation.
Arranged over five chapters this book provides information regarding the interaction between
micro-organisms and selenium and it also explains the biogeochemistry of selenium in
engineered ecosystems designed for wastewater treatment. The analytical approaches currently
adopted by the scientific community are also described and discussed. Readers will find
examples of the biological treatment of selenium contaminated wastewater and discover a
concise overview of selenium removal processes that are currently implemented at lab-scale as
well as at industrial scale.
