This book summarizes diverse biological treatment technologies employed in the remediation of hazardous petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated sites. It explains a wide range of approaches, including bioremediation, biostimulation, bioaugmentation, bioattenuation, bioventing, biosparging, phytoremediation, mycoremediation, phycoremediation, electrobioremediation, nano-remediation, trichoremediation, and more. It describes the management of hydrocarbon waste through circular economy approaches and the successful degradation of contaminant sites using a zero-waste approach.
Key Features:
- Discusses the past, present, and future of biological remedies for the treatment of hydrocarbon pollutants.
- Introduces petroleum hydrocarbons, ecotoxicity, and green remediation approaches applicable to contaminated and wastewater streams.
- Covers the utilization of hydrocarbon waste-contaminated areas for economic growth and novel opportunities.
- Includes reports and case studies on environmental hydrocarbon contaminants and organic amendments for strategic recovery of the contaminated sites.
- Provides a clear understanding of the sustainable, greener technology approaches for the degradation of hydrocarbon contamination from different sites.
This book is aimed at researchers, professionals, and graduate students in chemical, environmental, biochemical, and bioengineering.
