The past decade has witnessed unprecedented growth and development in biotechnology and bioengineering, positioning bio-economy as a major indicator of advancement. Providing extensive coverage of new developments, state-of-the-art technologies and potential future trends, Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering is a package of nine books that compile the latest ideas from across the entire arena of biotechnology and bioengineering. This volume, Biological Treatment of Industrial Effluents, provides data-based scientific knowledge and state-of-art information on the role and application of environmental biotechnology and engineering in the treatment of industrial effluents. The treatment processes have been broadly classified under aerobic and anaerobic processes, which determine the scope and level of pollutant removal. The chapters review the most recent developments and perspectives at different environmental clean-up operation scales. Outlines available biochemical processes for the treatment of solid industrial wasteCovers aerobic and anaerobic treatments, their mechanisms and selection criteriaHighlights specific industrial applications, such as anammox processes
