Microbial Remediation of Azo Dyes with Prokaryotes

This book details microbial remediation of azo dyes from wastewater  including information on existing methods and technologies, their  graduation, the emergence of new technologies, industrial practices, and  real-case studies. Emphasis is placed on industrial applications and  the elimination of toxic pollutants from wastewater through bacterial  approach. Specific aspects discussed include effective separation  through new adsorbents / newcomers, ion exchange process, coagulation /  formulations, separations, and biological methods from wastewater. This  book explains a paradigm shift towards the recovery of materials and  energy from azo dye containing wastewater.

Features:

Provides information on the topic of prokaryotic-based technologies for azo dye degradation in wastewater treatment plant.
Describes microbial enzymes and their role in bioremediation of environmental pollutants.
Covers industrial acid mine tailing wastes, plastic wastes, distillery, and pulp paper industry effluent.
Discusses critical insight into limitations of related technologies.

Explains concepts through illustrations, figures, tables, and trivia boxes.
This  book aims at Researchers, Professionals, Graduate Students in  Bioremediation and Environmental Protection, Waste Management, Applied  Microbiology, Botany and Plant Biotechnology.
