Emerging technologies in wastewater treatment plant is an ecological, profitable and natural technology designed to eliminate heavy metals, radionuclides, xenobiotic compounds, organic waste, pesticides, etc. from contaminated sites or industrial downloads through biological means. Since this technology is used in conditions on site, it does not physically disturb the site unlike conventional methods, that is, chemical or mechanical methods. In this technology, higher plants or microbes are used alone or in combination for the phytoextraction of heavy metals from sites contaminated with metals. Through microbial interventions, metals are immobilized or mobilized through redox conversions in contaminated sites. If they are mobilized, accumulating metal plants are placed to accumulate metals in their bodies. Next, metal-loaded plants are collected and recycled to reduce the volume of waste and then, disposed of as hazardous materials or used for the recovery of precious metals, if possible. In case of immobilization, metals are no longer available to be toxic to organisms. There are very few books published on the proposed theme. A good number of books have been published on environmental bio-remediation, but the proposed book is a new and an innovative proposal specifically in wastewater treatment. Looking into the importance of emerging technologies in wastewater treatment research, the book will have a high and applicable value in industrial wastewater treatment research.

Features:

    • The book highlights the importance of emerging technologies in the wastewater treatment plant to clean up the environment from pollution caused by human activities.

    • It assesses the potential application of several existing bio-remediation techniques and introduces new emerging technologies.

    • It is an updated vision of the existing emerging technologies in environmental bio remediation strategies with their limitations and challenges and their potential application to remove environmental pollutants.

    • It also introduces the new trends and advances in environmental bio-remediation with a thorough discussion of recent developments in this field.

    • Highlights the importance of bio remediation to deal with the ever-increasing number of environmental pollutants.
