This book offers a comprehensive study examining bioremediation principles covering in-situ and ex-situ processes for environmental pollutant treatment. It covers heavy metal toxicity effects and corresponding bioremediation strategies, xenobiotic compound biodegradation including plastics and hydrocarbons, and nanobioremediation technologies and further includes: Comprehensive examination of bioremediation principles and concepts covering both in-situ and ex-situ treatment processes for environmental pollutant management Detailed analysis of biodegradation mechanisms including bacterial growth kinetics, acclimation processes, and step-by-step bioremediation methodologies Investigation of phytoremediation concepts and mechanisms for heavy metal detoxification with emphasis on plant-based environmental restoration techniques Study of lignocellulosic waste degradation through enzymatic processes and bacterial degradation studies for environmental safety applications Analysis of heavy metal toxicity effects on plants, aquatic environments, and human health with corresponding bioremediation strategies and biomining applications This title has been co-published with Elite Publishing House. T&F does not sell or distribute the print versions in India.

Phytoremediation aids to augment bioremediation as it uses broad range plants to remediate soil, sediment, surface water and ground water that have been contaminated with toxic metals, organic, pesticides and radionuclides. This book serves to disseminate detailed up to date knowledge regarding the various aspects of phytoremediation and plant-microbe interaction. The book highlights process and molecular mechanisms for industrial waste detoxification during phytoremediation in wetland plants, role of endophytic bacteria for phytoremediation of environmental pollutants, constructed wetland treatment system for treatment and recycling of hazardous wastewater, amongst other relevant topics. Key Features: Focuses on phytoremediation process for different pollutants, mainly heavy metal detoxification in the presence of other co-pollutants. Includes plant-soil-microbe interactions in phytoremediations and remediation of contaminated water. Explores life cycle assessment of industrial waste contaminated site with organic pollutants. Discusses hyperaccumulator versus non-hyperaccumulator plants for environmental waste management. Includes bacterial assisted phytoremediation and siderophore formation in specific environmental conditions.
