Book Description

Biodegradation has been the subject of active concern for the past 40 years. Recently, the field has expanded to encompass a wide variety of chemicals, a broad array of issues, and the development of the new bioremediation industry. This book presents the basic principles of biodegradation and shows how these principles relate to bioremediation. Authored by a world-renowned environmental microbiologist, Biodegradation and Bioremediation presents microbiological, chemical, toxicological, environmental, engineering, and technological aspects of the subject.

* Praise for the First Edition
* "Serves an important function in presenting a complete picture of biodegradation in the environment. I[t] provides biologists, chemists and engineers interested in this process with information complementary to their own fields and thus belongs on the shelf of everybody active in the study of biodegradation and bioremediation."
* --JOURNAL OF CONTAMINANT HYDROLOGY
* "A compendious account of the field in a form accessible to microbiologists, chemists, toxicologists and environmental scientists and engineers. His book succeeds admirably...Well indexed, its diagrams large and clear....It will serve as an excellent text for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses and as an invaluable source of reference to all those with a research interest in this expanding field."
* --SOCIETY FOR GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY QUARTERLY
* "The book could serve as a text for an upper-level or graduate class in the principles of biodegradation and bioremediation for microbiologists and environmental engineers. In summary, Alexander has prepared a cogent and well-organized review of the principles of biodegradation in a book that should prove useful to a great many people."
* --JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
* "Provides a unity of style, and generally, an excellent intellectual flow between topics....Alexander does a spectacular job of addressing the kinetics of degradation reactions--the discussion is one of the best I have seen, especially for those not well versed in mathematics."
* --BIOSCIENCE
* "Written by a very knowledgeable scientist...A very timely book...Recommended as a valuable resource for environmental scientists, engineers, or other persons with an interest in the use of organisms for environmental decontamination and a need for better insight into the principles underlying bioremediation."

Book Description

The production of a vast array of chemicals, especially petroleum compounds during the last century, has caused a serious deterioration in environmental quality. In this context, one major threat is posed by the continually expanding areas of contaminated soils and sediments.

Biotechnological methods based on the biodegradation of environmental pollutants or phytoremediation of persistent organic contaminants and metals are being developed. Bioremediation has been used successfully to remediate many petroleum-contaminated sites. However, there are as yet no commercial technologies commonly used to remediate the most recalcitrant contaminants, such as explosives, pesticides and metallic pollutants. Nevertheless, bioremediation is a rapidly advancing field and new bio-based remedial technologies are continuing to emerge. For this volume, a number of experts from universities, government laboratories and industry, have contributed chapters on innovative methods in bioremediation and phytoremediation.

Book Description

The diverse metabolic capabilities of microorganisms and their interactions with hazardous organic and inorganic compounds have long been recognized. Microbial processes are environmentally compatible and can be integrated with non-biological processes to detoxify, degrade and immobilize environmental contaminants. Bioremediation, the application of biological methods, has been used successfully for soil remediation.

For this volume, a number of experts from universities, government laboratories and industry, share their specialist knowledge in environmental microbiology and biotechnology. Chapters dealing with microbiological, biochemical and molecular aspects of biodegradation and bioremediation cover numerous topics, including: bioavailability, biodegradation of various pollutants, microbial community dynamics, properties and engineering of important biocatalysts, and methods for monitoring bioremediation processes.

Book Description

The problem of aquifer contamination remains one of the greatest challenges facing environmental scientists and engineers. Air sparging, a technique unknown until recently, has emerged with increasing application frequency as an alternative to both the pump-and-treat technology and conventional in situ bioremediation for treating this problem. This book, featuring contributions from the world's most experienced air sparging practitioners, conveys the latest practical experience and information from North America and Europe. Air Sparging for Site Remediation presents an overview of air sparging in general and detailed information on particular air sparging technologies and their applications. The book examines the application of the technology to a variety of contaminants, including hydrocarbons, pesticides, nitrates, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. In addition, these specific topics and more are discussed:

Book Description

Perhaps the most common form of soil and groundwater contamination at both industry and government sites is caused by the spillage or leakage of petroleum hydro-carbons. From the large oils spills that attract inter-national media attention to the leaking underground tanks that have shut down many a corner gas station, hydrocarbon contamination is a widespread problem that has spawned both serious scientific research and various pseudo-scientific "snake-oil" approaches to bioremediation.

Applied Bioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons draws upon the experience of seasoned bioremediation professionals from around the world to provide sound scientific and engineering approaches to hydrocarbon bioremediation, with an emphasis on pilot- and field-scale applications.

Book Description

Encyclopedic in scope, this new book presents state-of-the-art methods and techniques demonstrating new applications for biotechnology to remediate contaminated sites. Researchers and practitioners world-wide share their collective evidence to demonstrate how biotechnology works, both alone and in combination with other remediation techniques. This essential tool will aid engineers and environmental practitioners in the planning of effective and economical remediation strategies. No other book provides such diverse information on specific biotechnology applications.

Book Description
