Titelbeschreibung

A deeper insight into the complex processes involved in this field, covering the biological, chemical and engineering fundamentals needed to further develop effective methodologies. The book devotes detailed chapters to each of the four main areas of environmental biotechnology -- wastewater treatment, soil treatment, solid waste treatment, and waste gas treatment -- dealing with both the microbiological and process engineering aspects. The result is the combined knowledge contained in the extremely successful volumes 11a through 11c of the "Biotechnology" series in a handy and compact form.

Rezension

"This book is a collection of the most relevant topics from a three-volume publication on Environmental Biotechnology that consisted of Environmental Processes I - Wastewater Treatment (edited 1999); Environmental Processes II - Soil Decontamination (edited 2000); and, Environmental Processes III - Solid Waste and Waste Gas Treatment, Preparation of Drinking Water (edited 2000). ... If you are in the waste management profession, this book is a must. ... this book provides important state-of-the-art information on the science and technology of waste management." Environmental Science and Pollution Research - INTERNATIONAL "... the book devotes detailed chapters to each of the four main areas of environmental biotechnology - wastewater treatment, soil treatment , solid waste treatment and waste gas treatment - dealing with both the microbilogical and process engineering aspects. This book will help students and professional experts to obtain a fast fundamental information and an overview over the biological background and general alternatives." Lebensmittel & Biotechnologie - Die osterreichische Fachzeitschrift fur Lebensmittelindustrie und -forschung "...devotes detailed chapters to each of the four main areas of environmental biotechnology..." CAB Abstracts "...provides deep insight into the complex processes involved in this field and should help students and professional experts to obtain a fast, fundamental overview..." SirReadALot.org "...the book will be useful to students and teachers of environmental biotechnology and enineering. Only a few books have been written on environmental biotechnology and not too many of these cover the many topics that this book covers. The book is hardbound and well produced. It is priced at a reasonable EUR 129.00." Biotechnology Advances "This book analyzes how to use, in a controlled manner, the ability of microorganisms to degrade wastes ... recommended." CHOICE

Autorenportrait

Hans-Joachim Jordening gained his chemistry degree in 1984, his doctorate three years later and his lecturing qualification in 2000. He has been at the TU Brunswick since 1987, heading the Department of Microbiology and Wastewater Technology from 1992 to 1997. His research interests include biological methods of wastewater purification, the enzymatic modification of saccharides, and modeling biocatalytic processes. Josef Winter earned his doctorate in 1974, and was a post-doc at MIT before gaining his lecturing qualification in 1980. He has been Professor of Waste Water Management and head of the Institute of Biology for Biological Engineering and Biotechnology of Wastewater Treatment at the TU Karlsruhe since 1993. His research includes physiology of aerobic and anaerobic degradation, wastewater and waste treatment processes, and soil remediation.
