Environmental Sustainability Using Green Technologies

Environmental Sustainability Using Green Technologies explains the role of green engineering and social responsibility in the development of chemicals, processes, products, and systems. Examining the relationship between economy, ecology, and equality-key factors in developing a sustainable society-this book covers several aspects of environmental sustainability, explores ways to use resources and processes more responsibly, and describes the tools required to overcome various challenges. It outlines the biotechnological applications, techniques, and processes needed to secure sustainable development and ensure long-lasting future success.Insightful and highly comprehensive, this body of work addresses: Wastewater treatment technologiesNanomaterials in environmental applicationsGreen synthesis of ecofriendly nanoparticlesThe role of phytoremediation in maintaining environmental sustainabilityAlgal biosorption of heavy metalsMass production of microalgae for industrial applicationsIntegrated biological system for the treatment of sulfate rich wastewaterAnaerobic digestion of pharmaceutical effluentTreatment of textile dye using bioaccumulation techniquesProduction of biosurfactants and their applications in bioremediationBiodegradable polymersMicrobial fuel cell (MFC) technologyBiodiesel from nonedible oil using a packed bed membrane reactorProduction of ecofriendly biodiesel from marine sourcesPretreatment techniques for the enhancement of biogas productionA review of source apportionment of air pollutants by receptor models and moreEnvironmental Sustainability Using Green Technologies provides excellent reference material that aids and supports sustainability, and offers practical guidance for professors, research scholars, industrialists, biotechnologists, and workers in the applied field of environmental engineering.
