Advances in Eco-friendly and Sustainable Technologies for the Treatment of Textile Wastewater delivers a comprehensive overview of the advancements in a variety of treatment approaches with a major emphasis on bioremediation for the removal and degradation of textile dyes. This book summarizes the latest advancements in textile dyes/effluent treatment technologies and evaluates the major physico-chemical and biological processes that are most popular among textile industrial wastewater treatment plants. The book examines recent advanced treatment options, including photocatalysis with the aid of nanotechnology, as well as advanced oxidation processes, with an emphasis on bioremediation methods.

Pretreatment of Biomass provides general information, basic data, and knowledge on one of the most promising renewable energy sources--biomass for their pretreatment--which is one of the most essential and critical aspects of biomass-based processes development. The quest to get the environment greener, less polluted, and less hazardous has led to the concept of biorefineries for developing bio-based processes and products using biomass as a feedstock. Each kind of biomass requires some kind of pretreatment to make it suitable for bioprocess. This book provides state-of-art information on the methods currently available for this. This book provides data-based scientific information on the most advanced and innovative pretreatment of lignocellulosic and algal biomass for further processing. Pretreatment of biomass is considered one of the most expensive steps in the overall processing in a biomass-to-biofuel program. With the strong advancement in developing lignocellulose biomass- and algal biomass-based biorefineries, global focus has been on developing pretreatment methods and technologies that are technically and economically feasible. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in methods used for the pretreatment of biomass. An entire section is devoted to the methods and technologies of algal biomass due to the increasing global attention of its use.

Over the years, there has been increasing focus on developing the processes and technologies for the conversion of biomass to liquid and gaseous fuels and chemicals, in particular to develop low-cost technologies. This book provides information and technological perspective on this topic.

Presents interdisciplinary research in the field. The chapters cover recent advances in various sub-disciplines of biotechnology, with a special focus on the biological synthesis of industrial compounds, value added products from waste, genetic engineering for novel biomolecules, bioremediation, biofuels and medicinal compounds.

A unique resource for state of the art research findings on biotechnological innovations and their potential for commercial exploitation. Gives immediate access to information on the application of bioresource technology as it relates to industrial, food and environmental biotechnology.
