Description

Environmental Biotechnology is designed to meet the requirements of students of BSc, BTech, and MSc in biotechnology. It will also be useful to students pursuing biosciences.

The book discusses the development, use, and regulation of biological systems for the remediation of contaminated environments and the conception of environment-friendly processes. The book begins with the definitions of relevant terms and a discussion on the different types of pollution and wastes. It provides an exhaustive coverage of the treatment of liquid and solid wastes, the economic and social aspects of waste treatment, and analytical methods for environmental monitoring. The text concludes with case studies on the design and economic evaluation of an integrated biogas plant for a dairy farm and design analysis of a community biogas plant design.
