Description

It has been observed that rapid population expansion has raised the amount of anthropogenic activity, resulting in high levels of pollution in water, air, and solid waste as well as an increase in the pressure placed on agricultural lands. Bioaugmentation Techniques and Applications in Remediation provides detailed information on bioaugmentation approaches for the remediation of sediments, water, and soil polluted with organic and inorganic pollutants.

Practical applications of bioaugmentation techniques performed in restricted systems under controlled conditions, laboratory investigations, and in the field are addressed. Special emphasis is placed on the applications of nanomaterials in combination with bioaugmentation techniques for enhanced bioremediation efficiency.

FEATURES

  • Explores abiotic and biotic factors that enhance and facilitate environmental remediation of contaminants
  • Provides a primer on the elementary microbial processes entailed in bioaugmentation
  • Summarizes methods and approaches for executing bioaugmentation technology
  • Details commercially available products and instrumentation

This book is an ideal resource for researchers, students, and engineers working in materials science and bioremediation.
