Description
The classic environmental biotechnology textbook-fully updated for the latest advancesThis thoroughly revised educational resource presents the biological principles that underlie modern microbiological treatment technologies. Written by two of the field's foremost researchers, Environmental Biotechnology: Principles and Applications, Second Edition, clearly explains the new technologies that have evolved over the past 20 years, including direct anaerobic treatments, membrane-based processes, and granular processes. The first half of the book focuses on theory and tools; the second half offers practical applications that are clearly illustrated through real-world examples. Coverage includes:? Moving toward sustainability?Basics of microbiology? Biochemistry, metabolism, genetics, and information flow? Microbial ecology? Stoichiometry and energetics? Microbial kinetics and products? Biofilm kinetics? Reactor characteristics and kinetics? Methanogenesis? Aerobic suspended-growth processes? Aerobic biofilm processes? Nitrogen transformation and recovery? Phosphorus removal and recovery? Biological treatment of drinking water
