Innovations in Environmental Biotechnology

The book discusses environmental biotechnology as a tool for sustainable development and highlights green technologies such as bio-plastics, algal biomass production, wastewater treatment, and greenhouse gas mitigation. It also covers emerging technologies like vermifiltration, small-scale PVA gel-based innovative solutions for wastewater treatment, and cyclic technology-based sequencing batch reactors. The book covers essential information on enzymatic biotransformation, biopolymer-based nanocomposites for dye waste treatment, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi-assisted bioremediation of heavy metals, coir retting and duckweeds for resolving environmental issues. It is a valuable resource for researchers, academics, students, industrial enterprises, policy makers, public health officials, and general users.

The book is a comprehensive resource that delves into two vital sections: Section A, which focuses on Environmental Sustainability and Green Technology, and Section B, which explores Emerging Technologies in Environmental Biotechnology. In Section A, the book introduces Environmental Biotechnology as a powerful tool for advancing towards sustainable development goals. It explores a range of green technologies, including Bio-plastics, Third-generation hybrid technology for algal biomass production, wastewater treatment and greenhouse gas mitigation, Green vaccination, Bio-fuels, Microbial enzymes, Bioelectrical systems, eco-friendly handmade paper production, nature-based sanitation solutions, and greener approaches to combating air pollution. Additionally, the book employs GIS technology to monitor and manage the COVID-19 pandemic.

Section B, on the other hand, delves into emerging and innovative technologies that are shaping the field of Environmental Biotechnology. It covers topics such as Vermifiltration, Small-scale PVA gel-based innovative solutions for wastewater treatment, Cyclic technology-based sequencing batch reactors (SBR), and the role of Bio-selectors in performing simultaneous Nitrification and Denitrification in SBRs. The section also provides comprehensive coverage of essential information on Enzymatic Biotransformation and Biopolymer-based nanocomposites for dye waste treatment, Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi-assisted Bioremediation of heavy metals, Coir Retting and Duckweeds: The Tiny Creatures for Resolving Major Environmental Issues.

This book is a valuable resource for researchers, academics, teachers, students, industrial enterprises, policy makers, public health officials, and general users. It is meticulously aligned with the curricula of post-graduate courses in biotechnology, microbiology, environmental biotechnology, and environmental science. The comprehensive nature of the content and its practical applications make it an essential read for anyone interested in advancing sustainable development and addressing environmental challenges.
