Bio Refinery of Wastewater Treatment: Way to Generate Waste to Value focuses on the exploitation of various waste water treatment technologies and their associated process (microbial/chemical/physical) as a tool to simultaneous value generation during treatment process of degradation/detoxification/stabilization toxic and hazardous contaminants and restore contaminated sites. The book encompasses advanced and updated information as well as future directions for young researchers and scientists who are working in the field of effluent treatment plants/biodegradation of environmental contaminants for environmental protection and sustainable development.
