"Biological Wastewater Treatment and Resource Recovery" ed. by Robina Farooq and Zaki Ahmad

This book provides necessary knowledge and experimental studies on emerging bioremediation processes for reducing water, air and soil pollution. The book focuses on the bioremediation of wastewater, its management, monitoring, role of biofilms on wastewater treatment and energy recovery.

Biological treatment of wastewater is a low-cost solution for remediation of wastewater.

It emphasizes on organic, inorganic and micropollutants entering into the environment after conventional wastewater treatment facilities of industrial, agricultural and domestic wastewaters. The occurrence of persistent pollutants poses deleterious effects on human and environmental health. Simple solution for recovery of energy as well as water during biological treatment of wastewater is a viable option.
