BIOREMEDIATION OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE FOR ENVIRONM...

Achieving environmental sustainability with rapid industrialization is currently a major global
challenge. Industries are the key economic drivers  but are also the main polluters as
untreated partially treated effluents from industry are usually discharged into the aquatic
environment or dumped. Industrial effluents often contain highly toxic and hazardous pollutants
which cause ecological damage and present and health hazards to living beings. As such  there
is a pressing need to find ecofriendly solutions to deal with industrial waste  and to develop
sustainable methods for treating detoxifying waste before it's released into the environment.
As a low cost and eco-friendly clean technology  bioremediation can offer a sustainable
alternative to conventional remediation technologies for the treatment and management of
industrial wastes.This book (Volume II) describes the role of biological agents in the
degradation and detoxification of organic and inorganic pollutants in industrial wastes  and
presents recent bioremediation approaches for waste treatment and management  such as
constructed wetlands  electro- bioremediation and nano-bioremediation  as well as microbial
fuel cells. It appeals to students  researchers  scientists  industry professionals and experts
in the field of microbiology  biotechnology  environmental sciences  eco-toxicology 
environmental remediation and waste management and other relevant areas who are interested in
biodegradation and bioremediation of industrial wastes for environmental safety.
