Zusatztext "?contributes newly available information and actual experimental work on the biotreatment of recalcitrant contaminants in the environment?authors are world class authorities in their respective fields." - C.H. Ward! Rice University "This book will appeal to a broad range of users as each chapter begins with an explanation of the basics before going into greater technical detail for the more applied users! and would be suitable for the undergraduate! postgraduate! and professional level."-Microbiology Today! May 2006 Informationen zum Autor Jeffrey Talley Klappentext This authoritative text provides a state-of-the-art review of one of the most complex and expensive areas of applied remediation engineering. The author divides the subject into three key contaminant groups and discusses availability! toxicity! and treatability as well as a summary of the latest in bioremediation technologies. Special innovative R & D projects are presented for each contaminant group! which discuss both the science and engineering challenges encountered as they progressed from the flask to the field. Bioremediation of Recalcitrant Compounds is a must for professionals seeking cutting-edge! innovative biotreatment technologies for recalcitrant organic compounds. Zusammenfassung Addresses bioremediation technologies for three difficult-to-treat contaminant groups: chlorinated solvents, PCBs, and PAHs - one of the complex and expensive areas of applied remediation engineering. It assesses innovative R&D projects developed for each contaminant group by a consortium of experts. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction to Recalcitrant Compounds; J.W.
