Environmental Biotechnology deals with the roles of the biological processes for combating environmental problems and promote sustainability. Several microorganisms and enzymes are used judiciously for the degradation of solid and liquid pollutants, for the production of biofuels, and development of eco-friendly technologies. The present book begins with the identification of the different solid and liquid wastes along with their sources and characteristics. It gradually makes readers conversant with the knowledge of conventional as well as advanced waste treatment processes. This book covers all the fundamentals of the state-of-the-art environmental biotechnology, which will be helpful for the research community, entrepreneurs, academicians, and industrialists. This book can be a perfect handbook for young researchers involved in biological waste treatment processes, scientists of process industries, policymakers, research faculty, and others who wish to know the fundamentals of biological pollution abatement technology. It should also be useful in environmental sciences/engineering, biochemical/chemical engineering courses, etc. Each chapter begins with a fundamental explanation for general readers and ends with in-depth scientific details suitable for expert readers.
