Description
Informationen zum Autor Christian Kennes is the editor of Air Pollution Prevention and Control: Bioreactors and Bioenergy , published by Wiley. Maria C. Veiga is the editor of Air Pollution Prevention and Control: Bioreactors and Bioenergy , published by Wiley. Klappentext In recent years, air pollution has become a major worldwide concern. Air pollutants can affect metabolic activity, impede healthy development, and exhibit carcinogenic and toxic properties in humans. Over the past two decades, the use of microbes to remove pollutants from contaminated air streams has become a widely accepted and efficient alternative to the classical physical and chemical treatment technologies. Air Pollution Prevention and Control: Bioreactors and Bioenergy focusses on these biotechnological alternatives looking at both the optimization of bioreactors and the development of cleaner biofuels.Structured in five parts, the book covers:* Fundamentals and microbiological aspects* Biofilters, bioscrubbers and other end-of-pipe treatment technologies* Specific applications of bioreactors* Biofuels production from pollutants and renewable resources (including biogas, biohydrogen, biodiesel and bioethanol) and its environmental impacts* Case studies of applications including biotrickling filtration of waste gases, industrial bioscrubbers applied in different industries and biogas upgradingAir Pollution Prevention and Control: Bioreactors and Bioenergy is the first reference work to give a broad overview of bioprocesses for the mitigation of air pollution. Primarily intended for researchers and students in environmental engineering, biotechnology and applied microbiology, the book will also be of interest to industrial and governmental researchers. "I highly recommend the landmark and all encompassing book Air Pollution Prevention and Control: Bioreactors and Bioenergy edited by Christian Kennes and Maria C. Veiga, to any students, faculty, researchers, in environmental engineering, biotechnology, and applied microbiology, business leaders in industries facing air pollution challenges, and government policy makers seeking alternative concepts for air pollution control. This book provides the most proven and widely accepted biotechnological solutions to any air pollutant based problems." ("Blog Business World", 10 June 2013) Zusammenfassung Over the past two decades, the use of microbes to remove pollutants from contaminated air streams has become a widely accepted and efficient alternative to the classical physical and chemical treatment technologies.
