Biotechnology Approaches to Industrial and Pharmaceutical Wastewater Treatment

Industrial and pharmaceutical wastewater can greatly benefit by advances in biotechnological approaches. By using various treatment technologies such as Biological Aerated Filters (BAFs), activated sludge systems, Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs), and anaerobic digestion, industrial and pharmaceutical may increase the effectiveness of their treatments. Emerging biotechnologies such as enzyme-assisted treatment, algae-based systems, and innovative bioremediation techniques are important for the effective development of sustainable wastewater management practices. Biotechnology Approaches to Industrial and Pharmaceutical Wastewater Treatment seeks to advance the implementation and optimization of wastewater treatment technologies by discussing the integration of green chemistry principles, circular economy concepts, and eco-friendly practices in wastewater management, along with eco-friendly methods like constructed wetlands and phytoremediation. By presenting the latest developments and emerging technologies, as well as addressing challenges and providing strategies for overcoming them, the book stimulates further research and innovation in the field of wastewater treatment. Covering topics such as microbial consortia, synergistic approaches, and heavy metal, this book is an excellent resource for industry practitioners, policymakers, non-governmental organizations, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.
