The book “Recent Trends and Innovations in Sustainable Treatment Technologies for Heavy Metals, Dyes and Other Xenobiotics” integrates innovative technologies developed in the past decade and commercial-scale processes to understand the path ahead in achieving sustainability and high efficiency in wastewater treatment.
The book “Recent Trends and Innovations in Sustainable Treatment Technologies for Heavy Metals, Dyes and Other Xenobiotics” has been compiled in nine chapters.
- Chapter 1 details the various types of prevailing wastewater, its characteristics, and the major commercial-scale strategies employed to treat those types of waste water.
- Chapter 2 details the different types of physicochemical methods utilized for the remediation of heavy metals, dyes, and xenobiotics.
- Chapters 3 and 4 highlight the innovations in the advanced oxidation process and adsorption for remediation of such complex molecules, respectively.
- Chapters 5, 6, and 7 individually address the recent innovations in bioremediation of xenobiotics, heavy metals, and dyes, respectively. Finally, chapters 8 and 9 discuss the latest technologies, prevailing bottlenecks, and the path ahead towards commercial viability and environmental sustainability in both physico-chemical and biological treatment processes. The target audiences are graduate students, post graduate students and researchers.
